What is the school uniform?
Dr South’s has a simple and inexpensive school uniform which children are expected to wear at all times during school hours. Children need black shoes or properly fitted trainers. Children should wear clothing from the following:
- Grey or navy blue trousers or shorts
- White or navy blue polo shirt or white shirt or blouse
- Grey or navy blue skirt or dress (winter); blue or yellow checked dress (summer)
- Grey or navy socks
- School sweatshirt or cardigan
- Grey, white or navy tights (winter)
- White socks (summer)
- Navy shorts and navy tracksuit pants
- White t-shirt and a navy sweatshirt or tracksuit top
- Trainers and plimsolls
- A small shoe bag for plimsolls /trainers
Swimming kit (for pupils in Key Stage Two):
Children need a one-piece swimming costume or speedo-style swimming trunks along with a swimming hat (plastic or cloth – any colour will do) and all children will need a towel and a waterproof swimming bag. If you consider that your child requires goggles to swim please ensure you have clicked the consent for goggles on ParentPay.
PE kit:
PE sessions are held at various times during the week. Sometimes these are regularly scheduled sessions, and sometimes they are ‘one-off’ events. We recommend that PE kit is packed into a suitable bag (eg. backpack, kit bag) and that children bring this to school on Monday morning and keep it in school for the week, taking it home on Friday to be washed. It is important to keep the bag at school for the duration of the week.
General:
Children should not wear jewellery, other than stud ear-rings and basic watches, to school; we cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss. All items must be removed or taped for PE and swimming sessions to avoid any risk of injury. Please supply tape if necessary.
Please ensure all items of uniform are clearly labelled with your child’s full name. Should you lose items of clothing, please ask at the office.
Please make sure your child has appropriate outdoor clothing.
Where can I purchase uniform?
Use the button below and it will take you to the website of our uniform providers. Shorts, trousers, dresses, skirts and polo shirts are also stocked at a number of shops including M&S, BHS, Shepherd and Woodward, and most of the larger supermarkets.
The Friends of Dr Souths also have a large range of good quality second hand uniform which can be purchased from them. Please contact your class rep to access this uniform or attend one of the regular after school uniform sales.
What equipment does my child need?
Your child should have the following when they start school:
Bookbag. These are available for purchase online.
Drinks bottle. Your child should bring a drinking bottle filled with water – no juice, squash, or milk please – to school each day. Again, make sure you name it. Whilst we rinse these in school, your child should take this home at the end of each week for a thorough clean.
