Uniform

Fynamore Uniform Code

Fynamore school uniform colours are purple and grey. All pupils are expected to wear uniform unless, for example, they are going on a residential visit. 

It is essential that all items brought to school, including P.E. kits, are clearly named.

Main School Uniform:

• Purple or white polo shirt with school logo 
• Purple pullover or cardigan with school logo 
• Grey or black trousers, shorts, skirt or tunic (school wear/smart)
• Grey, black or white socks or tights
• Optional purple and white checked dress in summer
• Black school shoes (no trainers)
• Children may wear boots during winter, as long as they are smart, plain, black boots (no uggs, chains, coloured lacings, decorations or visible fur).

PE Kit (indoor): plain white T-shirt (no football shirts), black shorts and plimsolls (not designer trainers).

PE Kit (outdoor): as above, with dark, plain, sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms, for cold weather, and trainers (not designer trainers).

PE Swimming: (Year 3/4 only): one-piece swimsuit, swimming cap and a towel.

Jewellery: Children are allowed to wear a wristwatch, but they are responsible for its safekeeping. Watches must be removed for physical education. Children are not permitted to wear bracelets, other than a medical alert bracelet. Children may wear a maximum of one charity wristband. Earrings, other than small studs, are potentially dangerous, and must not be worn. If worn, stud earrings must be plain, small, and gold or silver (no coloured/jewel earrings). If worn, studs must be removed or covered with tape for physical education (please supply tape for your child). Pupils are not permitted to wear other jewellery (including loom bands) in school. The school cannot take responsibility for the loss of any valuables brought into school.

Hairstyles/Hair Bands: While we are happy for children to express their individuality, we have very high standards and some hairstyles may be inappropriate for school. If you are in any doubt about a particular style, please check with school first.

Children should only wear small, plain, inconspicuous hair bands/ties. JoJo bows (or any large or colourful bows/ties) are not permitted. If you are in any doubt about a particular hair band, please check with school first.

Other: Nail varnish and transfers (temporary tattoos) are NOT acceptable at any time in school.
