Uniform
School Uniform Policy
Felix Primary School requires all students to wear a school uniform. Our school uniform helps our pupils to feel part of our school community and has been chosen to be comfortable and appropriate for the activities pupils will undertake during the school day.
Government guidance on the cost of school uniforms
In the Autumn of 2021, the government issued new guidance to schools on uniform. The aim of this guidance is to minimise the cost of uniform for parents through a reduction in school branded items, allowing parents to purchase uniform from a wider range of suppliers. Felix Primary School and the Sapientia Education Trust fully support making school uniform affordable and accessible for all children, and we have reviewed and changed our school uniform to reflect the requirements outlined in the statutory guidance.
School uniform requirements
From September 2024 there will be no requirement for parents of Felix Primary School to purchase any item of branded school uniform from any specific supplier. Parents will need to ensure that uniform follows the school requirements which are provided below but can purchase uniform items from any retailer.
Whilst stocks last, parents are welcome to continue to purchase and use branded items and there is no expectation that parents will need to replace branded items with non-branded items. However, the school will not be ordering any additional branded items from suppliers.
Felix Primary School also encourages all parents to share unwanted items, branded or unbranded, using the School’s Uniform Exchange service, details of which are provided below.
If you are struggling to access any item of uniform during the school year, please contact the school office for guidance and support.
Uniform Exchange
Felix Primary School also encourages all parents to share unwanted items, branded or unbranded, using the School’s Uniform Exchange service.
These can be brought to the school office and will be repurposed where suitable.
If you are struggling to access any item of uniform during the school year, please contact the school office for guidance and support.
