Uniform – Wickford Primary School

Low-heeled, sensible shoes are essential as children’s feet are still developing and can be damaged by fashion shoes.	Trainers do not form part of our school uniform but children are welcome to change into them at playtimes.
Hairstyles
Boys & Girls: Hair should be tied back from the face with a clip or hair-coloured band/small bow during lessons to enable children to focus on their work.	For PE, hair must be completely tied back in a plait, ponytail or top-knot, for health & safety reasons.
