Holwell Primary School
School Uniform
At Holwell Primary, children are expected to wear a uniform to school. We believe that a school uniform plays an important part in;
- supporting positive behaviour and discipline
- developing the ethos of the school
- supporting teaching and learning; promoting a sense of pride in the school
- promoting a sense of community and belonging towards the school
- promoting equality and supporting health and safety
We ask our children to wear their uniform with pride and to demonstrate the Holwell Value of Aspiration by always having high expectations of themselves.

Hair
Pupil’s hair styles must be reasonable and not be distracting for the child or other children within their class. We do not allow more extreme styles eg – bright or multi – coloured hair, Mohican hair cuts, zig zag, star or patterns shaved into hair.
PE Kit

During winter months children can wear black jogging bottoms and a plain black sweatshirt/hoodie with red T-shirt for outdoor PE lessons.
Hertfordshire County Council PE Advisors recommend that all indoor PE is done in bare feet. If your child needs to wear plimsolls for medical reasons please advise the school of this.
Please make sure that all school clothing and PE kit is clearly marked with your child's name.
Jewellery, such as necklaces, bracelets and rings, is not allowed in school. Earrings must be restricted to one pair of studs only. If a watch is worn it remains the responsibility of the child at all times.

Parents/carers will:
- be aware of and comply by ensuring their children wear school uniform at all times;

The uniform of Holwell Primary is reviewed annually by the Governing Body in line with the non-statutory guidance from the D.F.E. Holwell Primary School and the Governors are willing to consider reasonable requests for flexibility in the uniform for an individual pupil to accommodate particular social and cultural circumstances. Please contact the school if you would like to discuss a reasonable request.
