As a federation we have one uniform. Wearing a school uniform plays a valuable part in contributing to the ethos of the Wildground Federation whilst setting and reflecting an age-appropriate standard. It is also a visual reminder of personal discipline, independence, good order and the federation’s high standards and expectations.

Main Uniform

• Black or grey trousers, long school shorts, skirt or pinafore
• White, pale or navy blue shirt or polo shirt
• Navy cardigan or jumper
• Navy checked dress in warmer weather (No mini shorts please)

PE Kit

• Plain black shorts
• Plain, without buttons, red (Rhodolite), yellow (Amber) or blue (Sodalite) t-shirt reflecting their house team
• Plimsolls (infants) & trainers (juniors)
• Tracksuit when children are doing PE outdoors in colder weather (optional)
• Suitable PE kit bag

Shoes and other items

For your child’s safety and comfort, we ask that they wear sensible footwear, including low-heeled black shoes suitable for outdoor wear. The Waterside Community Fund supports funding for shoe vouchers. These vouchers can be used online or in-store. If you are in receipt of financial support/benefit, please contact the Federation office who can advise further on eligibility. Children will need a coat and other outer clothing in cold weather, and a sunhat in warmer months. 

We recommend that children in the infants have a book bag to help with bringing home reading and library books.

Skoolkit

All items of clothing are widely available at competitive prices in many high street stores.  Cardigans, jumpers and PE t-shirts do not have to have the federation logo on them.  If parents and carers wish to purchase items with the federation logo, items can be ordered via Skoolkit.

Uniform clothing bank

Throughout the year parents and carers kindly donate quality second hand uniform, which is washed and ready to be used for our school community. If you require any uniform, please visit or contact the federation office and we will be happy to confirm availability. 

Naming clothing & lost property

It is important that all children’s clothing and personal items are clearly labelled, as this helps us identify lost property. If you wish to view lost property, please contact the federation office. Lost items are displayed at the end of each term, after which any unclaimed items are donated to charity.

Jewellery

Children can wear a watch and a pair of stud earrings are permitted. No other jewellery should not be worn in school.  On days when children have PE, any studs should be removed or preferably not worn to school.

Make up

No make up or false nails. 

Nursery and Owls

Children attending our Nursery and Owls, Early Learning Group are asked to wear clothing suitable for indoor and outdoor learning and parents and carers are to provide spare clothing in their child’s bag. Parents and carers with children in the Owls can obtain a polo shirt and jumper with the Owls logo from Skoolkit if they wish to but there is no requirement.

Personal Belongings

We discourage children from bringing personal belongings to school to avoid any upset if they are lost or broken.
