  • The majority of our school uniform is ‘generic’ and can be purchased from any retail The ‘branded’ polo shirts and school jumpers are available to purchase from Select Kidz/ Cuddys. We also understand that some parents will purchase ‘plain’ white polo shirts to supplement the ‘branded’ school polo shirt. Please see uniform reminder below which hasn’t changed. The only minor change is to allow navy leggings for PE days for girls provided they are not see-through/ thin material showing underwear. We know some girls prefer the comfort of leggings and so this concession has been made to uniform to accommodate this. Girls may also wear shorts underneath their skirts/ dresses if they wish.
  • PE uniform should only be worn on PE days unless otherwise specified and these days will be communicated by class teachers at the start of term via seesaw.
  • In CPS we seek high standards in all areas.....teaching and learning, behaviour and uniform is important as it ensures that school attire is the same and fair for everyone, that there is consistency and this in itself presents a positive image. It also encourages children to wear their uniform with pride and have a sense of belonging to our school. I know the details outlined are specific but we are aiming for as little variation as possible so uniform is the same for everyone and everyone knows what our uniform entails.
  • Parents may contact the class teacher if there is an exception and we are always willing and happy to accommodate as we don’t want uniform to be stressful for anyone. The happiness and well-being of our children will always be our top priority.
