Shawley Community Primary Uniform Changes

'Some clothing options can be distracting for pupils, and a uniform can keep the school environment calmer and more productive. A tie has a profound effect on pupils in many cases, creating a more professional and formal feeling, and encouraging focus. It allows children to make a mental switch from being at home in their casual clothes to being at school and needing to pay attention.' 

We are introducing a royal blue with white twin stripes tie and white shirt for all KS2 children along with a V neck jumper. 

PE kit - as the children have at least 2 days per week where they wear their PE kits to school we hope this will help to ‘uniform’ them all on their PE days.  

The new PE kit will consist of a light blue polo shirt with the school logo, an optional black ‘quarter zip’ sports top and matching bottoms.  The new ‘quarter zip’ sports top will have a royal blue panel with the school logo. It is excellent quality and very durable, the children will look incredibly smart wearing it.

To help you to visualise the new uniform and PE kit please take a look at the Cheam Park Farm School Wear Inc. buying page as their uniform is very similar: https://www.schoolwearinc.co.uk/school/cheam-park-farm-primary-academy-kingston/

With sustainability in mind, please note that the children can continue to purchase and wear the existing Shawley uniform, this will also allow for parents to pass items down between siblings: ‘natural wastage’.
