School Uniform

School Uniform

We take PRIDE in how our children look and expect all the children to wear the full School Uniform and kit for PE. This helps maintain a cohesive school community. Please check with the school before purchasing new items or changing hairstyles if you are in any doubt about the uniform code, as the school’s decision is final. 

Friday dress down/mufti well-being day.

As part of our Well-being approach, every Friday children will be permitted to wear mufti/non-uniform day (home clothes). These clothes must be clean and suitable for learning, including physical activity. On these days there is still no additional jewellery.  A single stud earring in each ear and a watch only is permissible, which must be removed for any PE lessons.  Clothes and footwear must be appropriate to being able to run around on the playground, and respectable i.e. no midriff showing, no ripped clothing/ no ripped jeans, no heels/ slip on shoes/ flip flops. The school reserves the right to make judgement on the appropriateness of mufti clothes.

If this is your child’s PE day, then they can wear a mufti PE kit and trainers.

Uniform for all children

  • White polo shirt for all children. This has been updated from Summer 2024 and therefore children in the Juniors may continue to wear white shirts or blouses, with optional ties for their remaining time at Westfield.
  • Grey trousers or school shorts (no leggings), skirt, skorts (shorts that look like a skirt) or pinafore, that must be knee length or longer
  • Burgundy logo or plain jumper/cardigan.
  • Plain white, grey or black socks that are below the knee/tights.
  • Sensible, black enclosed waterproof shoes (Velcro fasteners are ideal for younger children). These must be plain black and flat, but can be plain black trainers or sturdy black shoes. No open-toed shoes, knee high boots (ankle boots are permissible) or slip on shoes are allowed. All shoes must have a back to them.

Optional Summer Uniform- may be worn from the start of the Summer term until Autumn half term (End of October)

  • Blue & white checked dresses may be worn, that must be knee length or longer

Hair Accessories

All hair bands/ clips/ bows must be in school colours only which are black, white, blue, burgundy, grey, or matching the school summer dresses. Long hair is to be tied back at all times for health and safety reasons, please provide your child with school colour hair ties. Children will be required to remove any hair items that do not conform to the uniform code.

If a hijab is worn to school, it must be plain black, white, blue, burgundy or grey. The hijab should be a fitted item not a loose headscarf for health and safety reasons.

Jewellery

No jewellery should be worn to school, except plain ear studs (a maximum of one in each ear) or watches (no smart watches).  However, as these must be removed for P.E. and swimming in the interest of safety it is desirable that none are worn in school at all. Earrings are particularly dangerous and are forbidden by County Health and Safety guidelines in view of the many serious accidents that have occurred in schools to children wearing such jewellery. We request that piercing take place during the summer holidays to prevent loss of P.E. lessons.

Mobile Phones: Only children in Years 5 & 6 that are walking to and from school are allowed to bring a mobile phone into school. The phone will be kept in the school office for the duration of the school day.

Ipods/smart phones/Smart Watches/Electronic Equipment :  these items are not allowed in school. Those in possession of such equipment will be required to leave it in the School Office until the end of the day.

PE & Swimming

  • Burgundy T-shirt.
  • Navy/ black shorts. Plimsolls. Trainers for games.
  • Socks not tights. Drawstring bag for kit.
  • Plain dark (black or blue) tracksuits (optional).

  • Optional fleece jumper (burgundy, blue or black).

Children who are chosen to represent the school at sporting events (e.g. football match) are provided with a school kit where appropriate.

School book bags should be used to hold equipment and books that go to and from school. Please do not send children with bigger bags as there is no easy storage space
