NewickSchool Uniform
Uniform
We believe that a uniform helps to promote a sense of belonging to the school community. It also saves you from wrangles over what to wear. It is very important that items of clothing have your child’s name on them and it is expected that long hair be tied back.
We suggest the following:-
Winter
(Autumn – Term 1* & Term 2)
(Spring – Term 3 & Term 4)
• Maroon jumper or cardigan (with school logo)
• Plain white shirt or polo shirt
• Grey trousers, shorts or skirt.
• Grey or white socks or grey tights.
• Sensible black shoes (no trainers, sandals or open toed shoes)
• School tie (optional)
Summer
(Summer – Term 5 & Term 6)
(Autumn – Term 1*)
• Maroon jumper or cardigan (with school logo)
• Plain white shirt or white polo shirt
• Grey trousers, shorts or skirt.
• Pink gingham dress
• Grey or white knee length or short socks.
• Sensible black shoes (no trainers, sandals or open toed shoes)
* During Autumn Term 1 either Summer or Winter uniform can be worn
PE Kits
For P.E. and Games, children need to be able to change for safety and hygiene into:-
• Sport trainers (that allow freedom of ankle movement i.e. not the ‘boot’ type)
• Maroon T-shirt and black shorts
• Black track suit/jogging trousers are acceptable in the winter with socks but not tights.
All children should come to school wearing their PE kits on their allocated PE days.
Multi-coloured T-shirts, including football strips are not acceptable. For indoor P.E., dance and gymnastics the children will be in bare feet.
Please do not let your child bring valuable possessions or jewellery to school. If earrings are worn, they must be small studs or sleepers. These must be removed for P.E., or covered with micro pore tape, which must be supplied by parents/carers.
Long hair must be tied back and children must not dye their hair unnatural colours. Nail polish and make up must not be worn in school.
Book Bags can be purchased from Monkhouse Schoolwear (previously Sussex Uniforms).
For Forest School children need to come dressed for the weather conditions on the day. We ask that children have waterproofs, wellington boots, clothing that you don’t mind them getting muddy etc. and most importantly that your child is warm for the session as Forest School takes place throughout the year.

Labelling Clothing and Belongings
We highly recommend getting some labels for your child's items. The My Nametags labels are extremely hardwearing and save a great deal of effort and potential lost property. They can be used on school uniforms, PE kits, club clothes, football kits, in fact almost anything. For every order of personalised labels, My Nametags will contribute 24% to Newick School. Order online at www.MyNametags.com and use our unique School ID number - 32353. You will be raising much needed money for the school and reducing the amount of lost property at the same time!
