School Uniform

At Alexandra Junior School the children are encouraged to wear uniform, as we believe it helps to develop a sense of pride in belonging to Alexandra Junior School.

Girls:
  • Either a grey skirt or tunic or grey smart trousers
  • A white blouse or white polo tee shirt
  • A red cardigan or jumper (with logo or without)
  • Lace, buckle or sensible slip on black shoes (flat not high heeled)
  • White socks or red/grey/black tights

Optional summer uniform:

  • Red/white dress (checked or striped)
Boys:
  • Grey smart trousers
  • White shirt or white polo tee shirt
  • A red jumper (with logo or without)
  • Black lace or sensible slip on shoes
Optional summer uniform:
  • Grey smart shorts

In the interests of safety children should not wear shoes with high heels and if boots are worn in wet weather they should always bring a change of footwear.

School uniform is available to purchase from Wearabouts Schoolwear, a local shop, based on Sydenham Road (a five minute walk away from the school).  Wearabouts also provide an online service which can be accessed through their website:
 
As well as selling specific AJS uniform (see below) the shop also stock general schoolwear such as skirts, pinafore dresses, trousers, shorts and PE items etc.

    Please note you are not obliged to buy these items from Wearabouts as a variety of other shops/supermarkets also sell general uniform/school clothing

    PE Clothing

    Children have PE lessons twice a week. At the beginning of each school year you will be notified which days your child is due to have a PE lesson. On PE days we ask that children wear their PE kit to school. It is important that they have the following items:
     
  • Black PE sports shorts or black jogging bottoms
  • Plimsolls or trainers (football boots are only needed for after school clubs and matches)
  • Logo embroidered red t-shirt

    Other general rules
  • Jewellery should not be worn to school as it can be dangerous during playtimes or PE - if a child's ear has been  pierced then very small studs may be worn. No other form of body piercing adornments will be allowed in the interests of health and safety. 
  • Shoulder length or longer hair must be tied back throughout the day.
  • Nail varnish is not permitted

    PLEASE REMEMBER ALL UNIFORM AND PE KIT SHOULD BE CLEARLY NAMED WITH AN INDELIBLE MARKER OR NAME TAG
