At Asby Endowed School we have a compulsory school uniform. Within our guidelines there is plenty of choice to allow children to have a sense of individuality whilst still showing that they are part of the school community.

Our school uniform comprises of a royal blue sweatshirt/hoodie (with optional school logo) and royal blue polo shirt with a grey or black skirt or trousers (grey or black shorts/blue gingham dress in warm weather), together with suitable footwear (black school shoes or walking/trainer style shoes).

The sweatshirt/hoodie and polo shirt with logo are available direct from Lakeland Embroidery, 4 Middlegate, Penrith.

When choosing any clothing for school please bear in mind the following points:

• Clothing should be easy for the child to take off himself/herself;
• Clothing should be easily recognised by the child (all items of school uniform and PE kit to be named);
• It should have no inappropriate motifs / designs etc;
• It should be easy to keep clean;
• In the winter children should have indoor and outdoor footwear (wellingtons to be named).

Children will need PE/Games kit:

• Trainers (plimsolls/pumps are not suitable for games activities);
• T shirt and shorts/sweatshirt and jogging bottoms;
• A bag to keep them in - A small rucksack/drawstring bag please as we are short of storage space.

We do not encourage children to wear jewellery for school. If a child wears earrings these must be removed for PE for health and safety reasons.
