School Uniform

At Elmhurst, we believe that our uniform promotes a sense of identity, looks smart and encourages the children to take pride in both their appearance and the school.  We recognise, acknowledge and respect individual identity.  

School uniform is compulsory for all pupils at Elmhurst School. 

Uniform may be adapted for children with SEND sensory needs or to meet a child's protected characteristics following consultation with the school SENDCo, Christabel Bunce.  

Uniform consists of the following items:

  • Royal blue sweatshirt, cardigan, or fleece (with school logo)
  • Royal blue polo shirt (with school logo)
  • Black or navy jogging bottoms, leggings, or shorts
  • Bookbag (with or without school logo) – Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 only
  • Waterproof coat and trousers of any colour (Lunch and break will be outdoor in all weathers.)
  • Wellies – (for all pupils)
  • Trainers (any colour, not light-up trainers or Heelys)

Optional Items

  • Plain royal blue or black headwear (e.g., hijab or turban) Hijabs must be school issued with no embellishments and no scarves. This is for health and safety reasons.

This will now be an every day uniform and children will not need a separate PE kit. 

Children in Year 5 also take part in fully-funded swimming lessons.

Children are required to have the following items for these lessons:

  • Swimming Costume
  • Towel
  • Swimming Hat
  • Goggles (optional)
