Uniform

We do lots of enjoyable and messy activities in Reception, and inevitably the children will get dirty. For this reason we require children to wear a school uniform. We also ask that parents and carers provide a spare set of clothes which must stay on your child’s peg. These clothes do not have to be uniform, but they allow us to easily change your child should they have an accident or get wet. The clothes should be in a carrier bag labelled with your child’s name (no rucksacks, please) Please also supply a change of underwear, in case of ‘accidents’.

The school uniform for Lewis Street is as follows:

Girls
• White polo shirt
• Black or grey skirt/ trousers/ pinafores
• Navy sweatshirt/ jumper/ cardigan with or without logo
• Summer Months: Optional Blue & White Summer dress

Boys
• White polo shirt
