Ditchling (St Margaret's) CE Primary and Nursery School

We believe that a simple, smart uniform has much to commend it. It helps to promote a sense of belonging and saves you from wrangles over what to wear.

Please name all articles of clothing.

P.E. and GAMES

Children need to be able to change for all P.E. activities for safety and hygiene.

Indoor P.E.     

Navy blue shorts and white short-sleeved t-shirt.

 For indoor P.E., dance and gymnastics the children will be in bare feet.

Outdoor P.E.  

Navy blue shorts and white short-sleeved t-shirt.

Trainers and socks.

 In winter, navy tracksuits/jogging trousers are advised, with socks not tights.

Please teach your child to tie their shoelaces at the earliest opportunity, recognising that this may take longer for some children to learn than others.

Hair

Hair that is shoulder length or longer should be tied up with a white, blue, grey, brown or black hair elastic or scrunchy. Narrow, plain Alice Bands or hair clips of the same colours may be worn.
