Claremont uniform, can, on the whole, be purchased from our uniform supplier Superstitch 86 (SS86). http://www.superstitch86.co.uk/

Please ensure you select the correct Claremont School on the Superstitch86 website.

Delivery is to your house for a small fee or free to the school. Deliveries to the school are in bulk and can take up to a fortnight to be delivered. We will distribute them to your children within 2-3 days of being delivered.

All pupils are expected to wear winter uniform from 1st October to 30th April. Summer uniform is optional from 1st May to 30th September.

Winter uniform is a mix of plain grey and white uniform items, which can be purchased in high street stores (Asda, M&S, Sainsburys, Next etc), and a royal blue cardigan or jumper that can be ordered from SuperStitch86.

The summer uniform dresses can also be purchased in high street stores.

Typical sizes for jumpers and cardigans:

• a size 24” should fit a smaller/petit/ younger new starter
• a size 26” for an average reception child (this is the usual ordering size for most reception starters as gives some room for growth.
• a size 28” for a larger/older new starter (these are quite roomy and typically purchased for a Year1 or Year 2 aged child)

Typical sizes for PE T-shirts :

• a size 22” T-shirt typically fits a petit/smaller/younger new starter
• a size 24” for a taller/older child.

In Year 2 and above, all children wear a long-sleeved white shirt with a school tie for winter uniform. Ties can only be bought from SuperStitch86.

Jewellery is not allowed except for small stud earrings if ears are pierced.

Long hair should be tied back and off the face for all children. Hair accessories should be small and match school uniform colours.

All uniform must be labelled with your child’s name. If uniform is not labelled it cannot find its way back to you if mislaid. If possible, we ask that you sew name tapes into items, preferably in the collar or waistband. Handwritten names are often too faded to identify.

Uniform in good condition is gratefully received by the PTA for nearly new
sales. Donations are collected at the Banner Farm Road gate on Thursdays between 8.40-9.00am. Online orders from the nearly new uniform shop placed before midnight on Sunday can also be collected on the Thursday. In person sales are run throughout the year so please look out for communication via your class reps on this. If you have any enquiries regarding nearly new uniform, please contact the uniform team via the PTA website.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR ALL RECEPTION PARENTS

Please decorate your child’s bookbag with them. Bags should have your child’s name clearly marked on the bookbag handle. All book bags are placed in containers and by decorating them your child will be better placed to identify their own bag.

Art aprons are not necessary as these are provided within each class in reception.

PE takes place inside during the winter months; please provide trainers and a tracksuit in the Spring term. Your class teacher will advise you when.

Please note: A full parental consultation would take place prior to any changes to the school uniform.
