School Uniform

At Pencoed Primary School we believe that a school uniform is important. It contributes to a sense of belonging and pride. It is practical and allows all pupils to fully engage with our varied curriculum, enabling them to participate safely in a range of  learning experiences. 

We ask that, wherever possible, all children wear school uniform and we encourage them to maintain a good standard of clean and tidy dress in school at all times. We ask parents to support us in ensuring their child is in school uniform on a daily basis. 

Winter Uniform

• Dark jogging bottoms or grey trousers, grey skirt or grey pinafore, green polo shirt and navy jumper, cardigan or hoodie.
  Uniform does not necessarily need to include the school logo as we realise these items can be more expensive for families.

• Sensible dark school shoes.

• Warm, waterproof coat and wellies (for outdoor learning).

• Hat and gloves during cold weather.

Summer Uniform

• Dark or grey shorts and green polo shirt. Green and white checked dress.

• Sensible dark school shoes.

• Light, waterproof coat and wellies.

• Sunhat and all day sun cream during hot, sunny weather. 

Please label all pieces of uniform including coats, shoes, wellies & hats. 

PE Kit

Pupils are encouraged to wear their PE kit to school on the day of their PE lesson. This should include:

• Dark joggers/leggings/shorts

• Plain white T-shirt/PPS logo PE T-shirt

• Trainers

If you have any queries or need support with acquiring school uniform, please contact the office or Mrs Patrick, our Family Engagement Officer, as we have rails of uniform which can be provided free of charge.

Jewellery 

• One pair of small stud earrings or one single small stud earring  

• One watch 

• No other jewellery should be worn.

Make up

• No make-up (except for medical reasons) 

• No artificial nails

• Transfers (temporary tattoos) are not permitted. These must be removed prior to arriving at school. 

Lost Property

Lost property is located near the Year 4, 5 & 6 entrance. Lost property is sorted on a weekly basis and if it is unclaimed after 4 weeks, it is donated to the uniform rails. 

Equality

At Pencoed Primary School we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents and carers receiving services from the school, irrespective of disability, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief, gender reassignment, pregnancy & maternity, marriage and civil partnership. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and able to participate fully in school life.

Where appropriate, reasonable adjustments can be made to our uniform expectations, for example due to sensory needs. Should you wish to discuss adjustments, please contact the school.
