Uniform

It is compulsory for all children from Nursery to Year 6 to wear uniform.

Our school has a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform.

Please read Swaffield's Uniform Policy on the Policies page and check below for details.

Affordable Uniform

We appreciate that school uniform can be expensive for parents and carers so we have restricted the compulsory items featuring our school logo to jumpers, cardigans and a book bag for Nursery & Reception.

Other items with the Swaffield logo are also available but these are optional. All other items of uniform, such as trousers/skirts/polo shirts are widely available from local shops such as supermarkets or from our second hand uniform sales.

We will make sure our uniform:

• Is available at a reasonable cost
• Provides the best value for money for parents/carers

Sweatshirts, cardigans with the Swaffield School logo are compulsory for all children and can be bought from a company called School Uniform Direct either online or from their shop.

Parents may choose to buy other items of school uniform, such as polo shirts, trousers and skirts from local supermarkets and shops or from School Uniform Direct who sell a full range of other items of uniform. 

Please note that the school does not stock any uniform for sale.

Swaffield PTA organises a sale of second hand uniform, including branded items, on a termly basis which are widely publicised to parents. These items are good quality and have been donated by parents whose children have grown out of them. The cost is usually £1 per item with money raised going to PTA funds which support the school.

Buying Uniform

All items featuring the Swaffield School logo must be bought direct from the supplier:
