Within our school we promote an atmosphere which encourages effort, enjoyment and a celebration of the achievements of all our pupils. Our concern for these high standards is also reflected in the pride we take in our school uniform and the feeling of belonging it creates.

It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school or when participating in a school organised event outside of normal school hours. 

The uniform is part of our school ethos and in coming to Parkfield Primary School. The most recent policy can be found on our policies page.

Following a successful trial period in Summer 2026, for the the whole of the next academic year, wearing the standard school uniform will not be a requirement and families can choose whether their child attends in their usual uniform or their Parkfield PE kit each day.

We believe this flexibility will bring a number of positive benefits over the year, including:

• Increasing participation in physical activity
• Improving comfort and focus in class
• Supporting inclusion for girls and pupils with SEND

As a reminder, the Parkfield PE kit consists of:

Those pupils that attend in non-school uniform will be provided with spare Parkfield uniform/PE kit for the day.

• Royal blue V-neck jumper/cardigan (with or without the school logo)

• Plain white shirt (long or short sleeve)

• Tie (Royal blue with thin double gold stripe) (KS1 – elasticated, KS2 – large)

• Grey trousers/skirt/shorts/pinafore

• Grey, black or white tights or socks

• Blue/white checked dress

• Black shoes or plain black trainers without any logos and with plain black soles.

Footwear must be suitable for school and not pose a health and safety risk for the child or other children or adults (e.g. No high heels/sandals/boots)

• Royal Blue Hoody (with our without zip, with or without school logo)

• Plain royal blue or white T-Shirt (with or without the school logo)

• Navy or black shorts/tracksuit pants/leggings

• Trainers

• Swimming: Girls must wear a one piece swimming costume. Boys must wear trunks or ‘short’ swimming shorts (not baggy Bermuda type shorts).

Children come to school wearing their PE kits on the day of their PE lessons and on the days of them taking part in PE clubs.
