Uniform

Our governing board has approved the listed school uniform for all children who attend New Longton All Saints’ C of E Primary School.  It is the governors’ wish that all children wear the uniform for school.  Some items should be purchased with the NLAS logo on, whilst other, plain items are very easily available, at competitive prices, at local shops and supermarkets.

We believe that the wearing of a school uniform promotes a sense of belonging and pride in who we are and what we hold important. It enables pupils to identify with their school, is practical and smart, reinforces a positive work ethos and reduces expenditure for parents/carers.

Our uniform is stocked at the following stores:

• Impressions, Leyland.
• Justs, Penwortham

Items can be ordered online via their website, direct from the shop or via their websites.

We wholly commit to reducing costs for parents by complying with the Governments guidance on branded items. However, if parents have already purchased the items, they are free to wear them but do not need to replace.

Bags

To support equality and storage, we ask that children in KS1 use the branded book bags and KS2 the backpacks in all year groups. These can be purchased from school as £5.50 KS1 and £9.50 KS2 and we negotiate the best deal for parents by purchasing them in bulk.

There are caps and beanie hats available but these are optional. Although we offer PE bags, as we wear our PE kits to school on PE days, these are not required.

Hair & Jewellery

There should be no extremes of hairstyles for examples shaved hair, tramlines or braided (holiday) hair. This does not include cultural hairstyles, which are welcomed. Long hair should be tied back for both boys and girls if the hair touches the shoulders or is longer than that. Only plain hair accessories which match our school colours should be worn.

• Pupils should not wear extreme hair fashions including dyed or streaked hair, gelled hair, closely cropped/shaved head, patterned styles with words/lines, pictures or logos shaved in or styles such as Mohicans, spikes etc.
• Small black or blue hair accessories are permitted, no large flowers or Jo-Jo style bows. Simple headbands in school colours are welcome.
• The use of visible strong smelling hair products is not allowed. This also helps with health and safety in P.E. because some of the styling products can come off onto the PE mats, causing them to have a slippery surface which is obviously dangerous.
• Make up and nail varnish are also not allowed.
• Natural hair only, we want children to stand out for learning reasons only. If you are unsure whether a hairstyle is appropriate for school, please ask the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher before having it done.
• Children are not permitted to wear earrings in school.
