School Uniform for Years R-6

At Lakeside, we have a uniform which we expect the children to wear during the school day. We feel that it gives the children a sense of pride and helps to raise their self-esteem through giving the children a sense of belonging. We expect the children to have their shirts/ t-shirts tucked in, ties to be worn when wearing a shirt and that laces will remain tied.

Shoes- these must be black with laces, buckles or Velcro fasteners. Black trainers and boots are not acceptable.

Hair- this should be of one natural colour (not dyed). It should be clean, neat and tidy. Hair below the shoulder must be tied back at all times. Hair accessories/hairbands in school colours (red, black, brown or white) should be used. Extreme hairstyles e.g. overly spiked, shaved lines or sculptured hair and large or fancy adornments will not be permitted.

Jewellery and Accessories- The only jewellery allowed is a watch and simple plain stud earrings. It is recommended that pupils remove earrings, where possible, when participating in PE lessons or other sporting events. If pupils cannot remove their earrings, they are permitted to cover them with tape or plasters. This must be done by the pupils themselves or by a parent before coming into school. School staff are not permitted to tape ears on behalf of pupils, nor can we provide tape. Tape or plasters from home must be used. Nail varnish is not allowed.

Bags- Children in Reception to Year 2 should use a Lakeside book bag with the school logo on. For children in Years 3-6, they may use a small rucksack which will need to be of a size which can hang on their peg.
