At Drove Primary, we believe that a school uniform plays a key role in children's self-confidence and a feeling of belonging to a school. Our uniforms, PE Kits and Shoes, can be bought at any supermarket and high street stores.

Please ensure every item of clothing is clearly labelled.

Our uniform consists of:

Girls:

  • Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan
  • White polo shirt/white shirt (long sleeve or short sleeve)
  • Black or grey trousers
  • Black or grey pinafore
  • Blue and white gingham dress
  • Black, grey or white tights/socks
  • Black shoes (not trainers)
  • A sensible cost during the winter months
  • Sun hat for the summer months

Boys:

  • Royal blue sweatshirt
  • White polo shirt/white shirt (long sleeve or short sleeve)
  • Black or grey trousers
  • Black or grey shorts
  • Black, grey or white socks
  • Black shoes (not trainers)
  • A sensible cost during the winter months
  • Sun hat for the summer months

PE Kit

For both boys and girls, our PE Kit consists of:

  • A white t-shirt
  • Black shorts
  • A dark tracksuit in winter
  • Daps of trainers

Your child’s PE kit will remain in school and will be taken home at the end of every term.

School bags:

If you wish for your child to have a Drove Logo PE bag and book bags you can pay for these through ParentPay.

  • Book Bags- £4.50
  • Pe Bags - £3.50

Once payments have been made, they will be given the items from the school office.

Spare Clothes:

If your child is in Nursery or Reception, please ensure they always have a spare change of clothes in their bag.

Additional Notes:

Jewellery should be kept to a minimum. It is fine to wear jewellery due to a religious belief.

Earrings should be small stud earrings. Hoop earrings are not allowed as they are a risk during PE lessons and at playtime.

Nail varnish and makeup are not permitted in school, unless with the express permission of the principal.

If, for cultural reasons, parents wish their child to wear a particular type of clothing during the school day, this is fine. Examples include a turban, headscarf, or a PE kit that includes longer length trousers.

Second-hand uniform

Purchasing second-hand school uniforms is budget-friendly and eco-conscious. Here are some suggestions:

  • School Office / PTA: Check with the school office to find out how to purchase pre-loved uniform.
  • Charity Shops: Visit local charity shops that may carry school uniforms.
  • Online Marketplaces: Use sites like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and dedicated uniform exchange platforms.
  • Community Groups: Join local social media groups where parents sell or trade uniforms.

These suggestions can help save money and support sustainability.
