Uniform

Uniform Expectations

It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform both in school and on school trips.

We believe that wearing a school uniform:

  • Promotes a sense of pride in the school
  • Encourages a feeling of community and belonging
  • Provides a practical and smart standard of dress
  • Helps identify children as members of the school
  • Reduces distractions in the classroom (unlike fashion items)
  • Supports equality among pupils in terms of appearance
  • Offers good value for money for most families
  • Is designed with health and safety in mind
 Jewellery

To ensure children's safety and comfort, we ask that:

  • Long hair is tied back at all times
  • A wide-brimmed sun hat is encouraged during sunny weather 
  • Only one pair of small, plain stud earrings is permitted
  • Earrings must be able to be removed by the child for PE
  • No other jewellery should be worn (except for verified religious or medical reasons)
  • Watches may be worn by pupils in Years 3–6
How to Buy Pre-Loved Uniform
At Meldreth Primary School, the PTA runs an active second-hand uniform service designed to help parents save money and recycle outgrown clothes. 

Here is how you can buy and get involved:
  • Termly Sales: The Meldreth PTA hosts second-hand uniform sales every term where items are sold at highly affordable prices. These are typically advertised on the school's physical PTA noticeboard and in regular newsletters. 
  • Direct Contact: If you need specific items or sizes between sales, you can contact the PTA directly at meldrethpta@gmail.com to see what they have in stock.

How to Donate
If you have uniform items that your child has outgrown, you can drop them into the designated collection box located in the school office. The PTA also uses a blue clothing recycling bin at the Meldreth Village Hall to secure extra funding for the school. 

PLEASE CLEARLY NAME ALL ITEMS BROUGHT INTO SCHOOL
