School Uniform
Our school uniform is based on our school colours of gold and bottle green. You can either buy uniform with our school logo from South West Schoolwear in Wells or unbranded versions from any supermarket. It is also possible to buy 'second-hand' items from our 'School Uniform thrift store', in return for a cash donation, which is located in the main entrance foyer.
Main school uniform:
- Gold embroidered polo shirt;
- a bottle green sweatshirt or cardigan embroidered with our name and logo;
- Grey or black school trousers, skirt or pinafore
- Grey, black or white socks
- Grey, black or white woollen tights
- Plain black shoes, suitable for children to move safely and comfortably around the school site.
Leggings, skinny jeans and jean type trousers are not school trousers.
Skirts should ideally be to the knee. Short skirts are not appropriate for young children to be wearing in a primary school environment.
The Summer dress is green and white, checked or striped. In winter, children who wish to wear boots may do so at playtimes. Children may also choose to wear a bottle green fleece or jacket, both with school logo, for outside learning and playtimes.
Trainers are not school uniform, except when being worn for PE.
It is important that your child is dressed appropriately for the time of year: Doulting has its own micro-climate, and it is often several degrees cooler outside than it is in Shepton. After a break or playtime, we remind children of the need to be ready to learn when they enter the classroom; this includes having shirts tucked in, jumpers on and hands clean.
For health and safety, as well as hygiene, reasons, hair that is shoulder length or longer must be tied back. Children should not wear jewellery, 'fashion' hair accessories, sweat bands and/or nail varnish. Plain studs may be worn, but must be removed or covered with micro-pore tape for PE lessons.
PE kit:
Our school PE Kit is: trainers, a plain white t-shirt, and plain black shorts, jogging bottoms or leggings. Children may also wish to wear a plain, dark coloured sweatshirt or hoodie.
Children in Year 1 - Year 6, wear their PE Kit to school on two days per week. Reception Class change in school as it is an important part of their learning and development.
Book bags
To help protect books being carried to and from school each day, we very much encourage children to have a book bag. These are available to purchase, at a very reasonable cost, from the school uniform shop. We have two styles available: standard 'briefcase' style with single carry handle, and 'messenger bag' style with cross-body strap.
