Uniform

Children at The Huntspill Primary School Academies are required to wear the school uniform.

 

We believe that by wearing uniform the children develop a sense of pride in and identify with their school. We encourage all children to look smart during their time at school. Although items branded with our school logo are preferred, generic items are acceptable if they fit the description specified.

 

All uniform with a school logo on can be purchased from Price & Buckland.

All children will also need a book bag, preferably with the school logo on.

Shoes should be sensible style with an appropriate style heel which allows children to walk and run in school safely. Children should always have an appropriate coat and are encouraged to wear a sun hat during the summer months.

Children are not allowed to wear jewellery to school in case it gets lost or damaged. We believe that the safest place for jewellery and personal possessions is at home. If a child has pierced ears then studs may be worn. These should be removed or covered with earring tape during PE. We would not expect to see children with dyed hair or with ‘extreme’ haircuts/styles.

All clothes and personal belongings, including water bottles, should be clearly marked with the childs name, preferably using sewn in or iron on labels.

SCHOOL MEALS

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are able to receive free Universal School Meals. These meals are provided by Aspens catering at The King Alfred School Academy in Highbridge. The menu is provided on a 3 weekly basis and parents are asked to discuss and complete a menu with their child on the Aspens Select website.

Children will need to bring in their own labelled drinking bottles every day, filled with water only.

Your child will receive free milk under the government under 5’s scheme which they are given at morning break time when they will also have the opportunity to choose a fruit snack.

 

COMMUNICATION

All communication is through an App called Weduc Reach More Parents. You will be given more information regarding the app upon your child joining us.

Occasionally we do need to print letters out to go home. These will be sent home in your child’s book bag.
