UNIFORM
Barkerend’s uniform has been carefully chosen for its practicality, comfort and smartness. We aim to give our pupils a sense of pride in their appearance and establish the school’s identity within the local community.
From Reception year onwards, children will be expected to wear a school uniform as follows:
RECEPTION – YEAR 5 | YEAR 6 |

Jewellery, with the exception of stud type earrings, should not be worn for health and safety reasons and to promote the smart appearance of pupils when in uniform.
All uniform items should be clearly labelled with the child’s full name and class.
The School has a number of Pre-loved uniform items including jumpers / cardigans, trousers, skirts etc. Please speak to one of our Pastoral Team for further information.

Teachers will inform pupils and parents/carers when PE lessons will take place at the start of the school year. Please ensure that your child’s PE kit is in school on the appropriate days.
