School Uniform
Why is uniform important?
At South Wonston Primary School we expect all children to wear school uniform. We believe wearing a uniform encourages pride in the school and contributes towards a school identity.
The Department of Education strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can play a key role in:
- Promoting the ethos of a school
- Providing a sense of belonging and identity
- Setting an appropriate tone for education

PE Kit
Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on the days they have PE. You will be notified which days at the beginning of the Autumn Term.
Children can wear:
- Plain and unbranded black shorts or leggings
- Plain white t-shirt with or without the school logo
- Plain and unbranded black jumper/zipped hooded sweatshirt
- Plain black unbranded black jogging bottoms for cold weather
- Plain coloured socks and suitable trainers for outdoor PE

Please note, if you have already purchased your child's PE t-shirt in their house colour, this will be acceptable for the 23/24 year. From September 2024, all children will be required to wear a plain white t-shirt for PE.
