School Uniform
We rely on you, as parents, to ensure that your child wears the school uniform. Children really dislike being different and enjoy feeling part of the “Stratford Team”!
All items of uniform are generic and may be purchased from any retailer. If you wish to purchase items of uniform with the school logo (for example sweatshirt, cardigan, PE t-shirt) go to MyClothing.com.
The required school uniform is as follows:
- royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan
- white polo shirt or collared shirt
- grey or black trousers or shorts
- grey or black pinafore dress or skirt
- blue and white checked / striped dress or skirt (summer / hot weather option)
- black school shoes that are safe and appropriate
We encourage the wearing of grey, black or white socks, or dark tights.
P.E. Uniform
- plain white t-shirt white t-shirt
- plain dark shorts or black leggings
- white socks
- track suit (in cold spells)
- plimsolls / trainers
Swimming (KS2): Trunks or full costume (bikinis are not allowed), Towel
Children are encouraged to wear appropriate warm clothing for outdoor PE sessions in cold weather – this does not need to be school colours, just warm! Shoes and clothes must be safe and appropriate.
Active Uniform Update (May 2026)
Our uniform will continue to be the same for the rest
of this year (July 2026). Any changes that are made will be phased in from September (2025) and children will still be able to wear the uniform they have if they want to.
I have been in contact with a local company who are currently in the process of making up some sample active uniform with our school logo on for me to show you. I am confident this will be with me before half term and I will arrange a time for you to come and see it. You will be able to order this uniform online and either collect from their business in Longhedge, or have it delivered to you at home. More details on this will follow soon.
Our other uniform will still be available from My Clothing and School Trends for now too.
From September 2026 our main uniform will be an active uniform
- Plain black/navy joggers or leggings
- Plain black/navy shorts or cycling shorts (for warmer weather)
- Royal blue or white polo shirt/t-shirt
- Royal blue sweatshirt/hoodie (with or without zip)/cardigan/ ¾ zip top/fleece (branded with Stratford logo or plain)
- Socks (with some spare in their bag!)
- Plain trainers or trainer style shoe (black, white or blue preferable)
Other options
- Black/grey trousers or skirt
- Black/grey pinafore dress or blue summer dress
- Black school shoes
The active uniform must be worn on PE days
Lost Property
A ‘Lost Property Basket’ is located in the ‘Glass House’ entrance in the new block. We try to return named items to the owner and not put them in the basket.
Appearance
Children should be smart, clean and safe at all times.
Hair: Long hair must
be tied back for health and safety reasons. This is essential during PE lessons
but is encouraged in all activities.
Jewellery: Pupils may wear
watches and a small pair of studs for pierced ears (in ear lobes only). Nose
studs and other types of body piercing are not allowed. No other jewellery is
allowed. In order to comply with L.A. Health and Safety guidelines, pupils are
required to remove earrings for PE activities. If children cannot remove them,
they are asked to cover them with tape.
Make-up: The Governors
believe that any form of make-up or hair colouring is inappropriate for this
age group. Nail varnish may not be worn.
