School Uniform
The expectation at Heronsgate is that all children come in uniform, creating a feeling of community within school.Â
The uniform can be worn all year round. We do not have different expectations for winter and summer. Branded items are not expected and generic alternatives can be worn, this means that a range of shops can be used to buy uniform. If you need help or support, please contact the school office.
- Footwear: Only plain black shoes or boots of sensible design are allowed. Trainers, platforms, high heels, and Ugg-style boots are not permitted.
- Hair: Must be neat and tidy. Mohicans, logos, and brightly coloured accessories (e.g. large Jojo bows) are not allowed. Long hair must be tied back for PE, games, and science.
- Jewellery: Earrings must be removed for PE. If a child cannot do this independently, they should not wear them or must bring tape. Staff will not assist. The same rules apply to boys and girls. Nose studs and other body piercings are not permitted.
PE Uniform For ‘PE Ready’
At Heronsgate, children traditionally changed for PE at school, which reduced lesson time, caused anxiety, and led to lost clothing. In September 2019, we launched ‘PE Ready’: pupils now arrive dressed in their PE kit on PE days and wear it throughout the day, removing the need to change.
This approach adds at least 20 extra minutes of activity per group—amounting to 26 additional hours of PE over the school year. After consulting other schools locally and nationally, we found strong support for the initiative. Evidence shows that regular physical activity enhances academic performance, confidence, mental health, behaviour, and lifelong wellbeing.
