Uniform

Uniform is a really important part of belonging to a school, and we feel it should be fair, inclusive and simple to follow with opportunities for parents / carers to shop around for items and get best value. We want our children to be able to get on with their learning, and be safe, comfortable and free to move and play, so ask that parents follow the policy to enable this to be possible.

The children look very smart in their Hunsley blue items, and we are proud of the way the uniform makes the children feel as members of the Hunsley family. The Hunsley blue cardigan / jumper is the only branded item we ask parents / carers to get. You can buy these from our suppliers which we will actively review to make sure you are getting value for money; but we also have plenty of pre-loved ones, looking for a new home.

We regularly make sure we offer chances to pick up pre-loved uniform pieces which helps reuse items, lessen waste and means parents can have a spare jumper at the ready! Families can pick up pieces, such as jumpers, at all school events, or at our Parent Partner Tuck-Shops and school ‘Stay and Plays’; or just pop by the Main Reception and have a look at the uniform table. We operate an optional donation-only payment for pre-loved uniform, so please do just ask Mrs Hitchin or one of the Parent Partners and help yourself to what you need.

Please see our full Uniform Policy (link below) for further details and find below a summary of the main points.

Please note: there is no longer a need for Reception children to wear indoor shoes in the classroom.
