Dress Code

Our dress code reflects the importance we place upon suitable, age appropriate clothing and footwear so that children can learn and play in a safe way.

In our school:

All clothing must be in good repair and clean.
All items of clothing must be clearly named.
The wearing of all jewellery is banned.
No logos, motifs or football shirts.
All footwear must be safe and sensible, flat, securely fitting and all open shoes will have a back strap.
Cosmetics including nail varnish will not be worn.
Hats & hoods will not be worn inside.

PE Kit

Children must have their own PE kit in school at all times:

Navy blue shorts.
Coombes PE T-shirt (or plain white T-shirt).
White ankle socks.
Trainers or plimsolls.
Coombes PE bag (or drawstring bag).
Plain navy tracksuit (for outside during colder months).

PE Kit will change like the seasons and therefore should be appropriate for the time of year and the activity.

As the field starts to become muddier during the colder months, the children are also recommended to wear football/rugby boots to help with grip.

Earrings must be removed for PE and games or taped up securely.
Watches must be removed before taking part and remain the child's responsibility.
Bangles/Bracelets must also be removed prior to participating
Long hair must be tied back, so please make sure that your child has some spare hair ties with them on the days they participate in activities.

Please note that these measures are taken in the interests of children's safety and well-being and are in accordance with the Local Authority's, and national, Health and Safety Guidance.

Hot & Cold Weather

We work outside as well as in the classroom. Our children must have coats and wellington boots all the year (even in the summer).

Sun hats for sunny and covered shoulders all the year around.

The Coombes School Council

At The Coombes we believe that a school uniform can improve learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on school work and making the classroom a more serious environment which will allow the children to perform better academically. A uniform also means that the students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. As they all look the same, worrying about what you wear isn't so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which can put a great deal of financial pressure on the parents. The school believes that the uniforms show that our children are part of an organisation, a larger family, it is something that should be worn with pride.
