School Uniform

The Elmsett School uniform consists of:

• Navy or grey school trousers/skirt/dress - NOT BLACK
• Light blue polo shirt
• Navy sweatshirt/ cardigan/jumper  - NOT BLACK
• Light blue gingham dress may be worn in summer
• Socks must be white, black, grey or navy – no bright colours!
• Black closed toe school shoes are to be worn – no sandals, boots or trainers.
• ALL CLOTHING MUST BE NAMED.  Any item that is lost and does not have a name on it will be placed in Lost Property.  Anything not claimed by the end of each term will be recycled.

• Hair must be tied back with school coloured hairbands and clipped away from the face (regardless of length).

• Nail varnish is not to be worn.

• Jewelry is not to be worn as it is not always safe to do so, particularly during PE, and we cannot be responsible for any losses.  Earrings in particular cause a problem and Suffolk County Council have instructed schools that children who come to school wearing earrings or studs with back projections are not permitted to take part in physical activities.  Therefore, it is easier for them not be worn at all.  Studs can be replaced as soon as your child arrived home at nights or at weekends and holidays.  This will prevent the holes from closing up.
