Footwear
Children must wear either black school shoes or black trainers (entirely black) for school. During bad weather, if Children come to school in wellies or boots, they must bring black school shoes or trainers to change into.
Jewellery
Children may not wear jewellery with the exception of one pair of stud earrings and watches (not smart watches). Swain House Primary accommodates exceptions to the above statement for recognised religious reasons in accordance with guidance from Bradford Council. Requests for exceptions should be made in writing.
Bags
All children in Reception will be provided with a free logoed book bag. As children move through school, they can bring their own backpack if they would like to.
Outdoor clothing
Children are strongly encouraged to wear a coat that is suitable for the varying weather conditions. Coats should be waterproof and warm enough to ensure the child remains comfortable during outdoor break times and travel to/from school. To keep costs low for families, we do not require coats to have a school logo.
During the summer months, children are encouraged to wear a sun hat or baseball cap. These do not need to be logoed.
Adaptations for pupils with SEND (including pupils in the RP)
Where a pupil’s sensory, physical, communication or hearing needs mean standard uniform is unsuitable (e.g. particular fastenings, materials or ear protectors), the school will work with parents and relevant professionals to identify suitable alternatives and record agreed adjustments in the pupil’s support plan or EHCP where appropriate.
Where to purchase our school uniform
Our uniform is designed to be affordable and accessible. Children are not required to wear any logoed items of clothing; however, logoed items of clothing can be purchased from the Uniform shop in Bradford. The shop is located at - 54 Darley Street, Bradford, BD1 3HN. Telephone - 01274 736300.
Most items, including trousers, skirts, polo shirts and jumpers/cardigans can be purchased from high street retailers or supermarkets. Sweatshirts, cardigans, fleeces and outdoor PE tops with the school logo can be purchased from The Uniform Shop in Bradford.
We know how quickly children grow and how expensive replacing uniforms can be, so we want to make it easier for our families to access quality school wear while helping the environment. To support our families, we run a school Uniform Swap Shop every half term.
The Uniform Swap Shop runs at the end of every half term and is held in the small hall. A letter is sent to families informing them of the Uniform Swap Shop date. Families can attend the Uniform Swap Shop whether or not they are able to donate items.
