School Uniform

Our school uniform at Elmsleigh is about helping pupils feel part of our school community. For many of our children, routine and familiarity are important, and wearing a uniform can support confidence, reassurance, and a sense of belonging.

We also understand that every child is different. Uniform should never be a barrier to attending school, and a child’s comfort and wellbeing must always come first. We are happy for parents and carers to make reasonable adaptations to uniform to support sensory or physical needs. This may include choosing softer fabrics, removing labels, adapting fastenings, or using supermarket or high-street alternatives instead of branded items. When making adaptations, we ask that clothing stays within the school colours wherever possible so pupils continue to feel part of the wider school.

Branded uniform is not required, and families should not feel under pressure about the cost of clothing. We also try to make pre-loved uniform available to support families when we can. These are made available during parents evenings as well as celebration times. Our uniform is inclusive of all faiths, cultures, and identities.

For more information on our school uniform, please see the Uniform Policy on our policies page.

Alternatively, you can purchase uniform from the high street supermarkets.

We also have a surplus supply of used uniform which you can buy for a small donation to our fundraising team, Friends of Elmsleigh.

PE Wear

For PE, children will need pumps or trainers for outdoor sport, black/blue shorts and a white T-shirt, in a named pump bag. Please can  children have a change of socks for PE lessons too. Tracksuits or jumpers are advisable on colder days.

It is important that all clothing is labelled in the child’s name!
