School Uniform
All pupils at Riverdale Primary wear our school uniform. We strongly encourage the wearing of our school uniform by all pupils throughout the year. The children look so smart and it shows everybody in the local community that we are proud to be part of Riverdale Primary School.
Our school uniform is as follows: plain green sweatshirt, jumper or cardigan, white or yellow shirt, black or grey trousers, skirt or pinafore, and sensible black shoes. If your child wears trainer style shoes, they must be completely black (plain with no logos).
There is no requirement to wear branded uniform.
Children may wear a watch and stud earrings, but no other jewellery may be worn. Prior to PE lessons the children will be asked to remove all jewellery themselves. We encourage on PE days the children do not wear earrings to school as this avoids hassle and saves time!
Our school PE kit is black shorts and a white t-shirt or polo shirt. Please note that children can not wear football kits in PE lessons. In cold weather conditions children may wear jogging bottoms and sweatshirts. During PE lessons long hair must be tied back. Please ensure that your child comes dressed in their PE kit on their PE days.
Children having swimming lessons will also need a swimming costume or swimming trunks and a towel.
Many children are careless with their personal possessions. We have a lost property box in each classroom in school, which are continually being filled with unclaimed items. Please help by ensuring that all property and items of clothing and footwear are clearly marked with your child’s name. Thank you!
All of the above rules allow our children to demonstrate their respect for our school and help to eliminate problems caused by bullying around fashion/money and taste. They help our children to view their school as a community of equals.
Our uniform can also be purchased at most supermarkets and many other retailers.
We have a supply of preloved uniform items, all of which have been washed and are in a good condition, to support children and families when they first join our school or are otherwise in need.
At any time, you can contact the Office; all enquiries are confidential. We also have a uniform sale at events like the Summer or Christmas Fair. We are happy to accept donations of uniform and are grateful to the support of parents and the PTFA for helping us to facilitate this.
