Uniform






School uniform plays a key role in promoting pride, self-confidence, and a feeling of belonging within any school. These factors contribute to children's wellbeing, removing the additional pressures on children of competing with their peers. Less stressful for parents too!
At Hamp Nursery and Infants school, we pride ourselves on our unique uniform choices. We have three different uniform colours, which enables our children to make choices from the very beginning of their journey with us. This represents that we are a diverse community, that we understand that we all like different things, and that we can all be included, and celebrated as ourselves.
Our school colours are jade green, royal blue and red, and our branded uniform items are provided by South West Schoolwear. The shop is located in Bridgwater, please see the leaflet attached below for more details.
The branded uniform items are sweatshirts, cardigans and t-shirts (polo shirts for school and round neck shirts for PE), the children also use red or blue bookbags.
For all other items there are many uniform outlets that provide these at affordable prices.
Our preferred colour for trousers, shorts, skirts and pinafore dresses is grey, but we are happy with either black or navy items as long as they are uniform items rather than fashion.
We are keen to ensure affordable uniform for all and so will happily accept non-branded school wear for a jumper or cardigan that matches any of our three colours. We always recommend going for red or royal blue if you are purchasing these non-branded items, as these match our colours best. Navy blue, yellow or dark green are not our uniform colours.
When buying polo shirts- we are also happy for children to wear white.
Sensible school shoes should always be worn for school, rather than boots, and must always be a closed style. Any open sandals or heels are not permitted for safety reasons.
We also sell out-grown good quality uniform, that has been kindly donated to us by parents, when they no longer have a need for it. We will hold a sale after school, during the first week after each holiday. This will usually be on a Thursday, unless we happen to come back on a Thursday, and then it will be in the second week instead. All these items are offered at £1.00 per item, to help keep our uniform affordable, and all money from this will go into our pastoral care fund. Please ask if you would like to purchase items at other times. It is easily available. We are happy to accept donations from parents at any time.
