The school uniform policy has been agreed in consultation with parents and the Anthony Gell Cluster of primary schools.  

The school uniform is:

White shirt or light blue polo shirt decorated with or without the school logo.

Navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan

Blue gingham style dress, grey pinafore, grey/black trousers, or a medium-length grey skirt.

Sensible hardwearing black shoes, black boots, or sandals, which can be polished.

If hair is long enough, it should always be tied back.

PE uniform·

Navy blue T-shirt with or without the school logo, navy shorts, dark trainers, black plimsolls for indoor PE.

Dark blue/black/grey joggers and tracksuit top.

Forest schools

• School T-shirts and jumpers.
• Old trousers, no jeans.
• Waterproofs coat and trousers.
• Walking boots or wellington boots to change into.

Children can come into school wearing their PE kits, on PE days.  The teacher will inform you via Class Dojo of these in September.

No jewellery is to be worn to school apart from small plain ear studs, which must be removed for PE, Forest school and swimming. Children must be able to remove themselves, or not to attend school in earrings on their PE days.  If earrings cannot be removed, they will not be able to take part in PE lessons.

We can supply sweatshirts, cardigans, and polo shirts with the school logo at cost price. School orders are done in June for September and January for the Spring term.   For more regular new items, you can contact the school office on: office@wirksworth-jun.derbsyhire.sch.uk

Our uniform can also be ordered directly from www.myclothing.com. Just enter Wirksworth Junior School into the search box.

All watches must be removed for physical education and other related activities. Since removal of ear studs can be a problem for some children, we ask that children leave these items at home on the days when PE takes place. If a pupil does come to school with ear studs in on a PE lesson day, and they are unable to remove the studs themselves, they will not be permitted to participate in the PE lesson. Those children with long hair need to provide a suitable way of securing it for the duration of the lesson.

Please ensure that all items of uniform, PE kit and outdoor clothing (e.g. coats, gloves, etc.) are clearly labelled with your child’s name, so that owners can be easily identified if items are misplaced.
