We proudly wear our uniform for school, it helps to give us an identity and a sense of belonging.

Please ensure your child has the correct uniform for school. 

Our school colour is Burgundy. This is a colour we are proud to wear, and it identifies us as part of the HCA family.

Uniform

For a period of time we have been reviewing our school uniform.  As a very active school, with lots of P.E. sessions and active after school clubs, we appreciated that it could be difficult for parents to know whether to send their children in PE kits or full uniform.  We also noticed that some children much preferred to wear their PE hoodie throughout the week.

In order to find a solution to this issue, we looked at the possibility of updating our uniform policy to include an ‘active uniform’ which the children can wear on a day-to-day basis, both as part of their normal full school uniform and for P.E. days. 

After consulting parents, governors and staff, we have decided to offer the following options to parents.

Traditional school uniform.

We will continue to allow parents to send children to school in the full uniform that we currently have in school.  This consists of the following:

• Maroon school sweatshirt/cardigan, with or without branding
• Black leavers hoodie. Year 6 pupils can order a hoodie at the end of year 5 so that they can wear it throughout the whole of year 6 to make the best use of it.
• Maroon or white polo shirt, with or without branding
• Black or grey trousers/skirts/pinafores
• Black school shoes.
• A red checked summer dress can also be worn.

We will also offer the following option to parents as a PE kit/active uniform

• Maroon school hoodie (children can wear their maroon jumpers and cardigans/Black leavers hoodie (Year 6 only)
• Maroon or white T-shirt/polo shirt (no sports branding/logos)
• Black leggings/jogging bottoms/shorts (can be maroon PE shorts) (no sports branding/logos)
• Black trainers or sporty type shoes (no significant branding/logos)

We want our uniform to be affordable for parents, and not become about the latest fashion trends.  Therefore, we will actively discourage branded leggings/joggers/trainers being worn in school. 

For those families on certain benefits, an application for Free School Meals also brings a uniform voucher, which is currently £50 a year for primary pupils.  Applications for this can be made by following the link below.
