Uniform
It is our policy that all children wear Gisburn Road Community Primary School’s official uniform when attending school or when representing the school in an organised event outside normal school hours.
As well as being practical and smart, we believe that a sensible uniform policy will reinforce a positive learning environment as well as promote a unified school, community spirit and inspire a sense of pride in our school.

Jewellery
For Health and Safety reasons we do not allow children to wear jewellery in school with the exception of a small pair of stud earrings and small objects of religious significance.
However, we do ask children to remove these objects prior to a P.E lesson or cover them with a plaster to prevent injury to your child or another child.

Hair
Extreme hair cuts
We do not permit children to have ‘extreme’ haircuts which could serve as a distraction to other pupils. Hairstyles such as patterns shaved into the hair or mohican style crest are deemed as inappropriate for school.
Lost Property
Please ensure ALL items of clothing are labelled clearly with your child’s full name. If any items are lost we will endeavour to return it to the correct child.

We ask all parents to support our school uniform policy and ensure that each child is sent to school dressed appropriately in smart attire for the day of learning ahead.
Good condition school uniform items that are no longer required can be donated to school and the items will be available to purchase for a small amount of money from the various school fairs held throughout the year. The money from such sales will be contributed to our school funds.
