Waterside Academy School Uniform

Waterside Primary is committed to maintaining high standards and promoting our core values of respect, kindness, responsibility, consideration, and endeavour. Our school uniform plays an important role in reinforcing these values and creating a sense of community and belonging among our students.

Uniform Guidelines

To ensure our students are dressed appropriately for learning, we have the following uniform requirements:

• Tops: White polo shirt or blouse, navy blue jumper or cardigan (Waterside Academy branded or non-branded)
• Bottoms: Grey trousers, shorts, or skirt
• Dresses: Navy blue gingham dress
• Shoes: Black, closed-toe, and practical for the school day (no flip-flops, jelly shoes, or boots)
• Accessories: Plain black, blue, or white hair accessories; plain stud earrings only (to be removed for PE)

Additional Guidelines

• Please label all uniform items with your child's name to prevent loss.
• Classrooms have limited storage space, so a compact book bag or messenger-style bag is recommended.
• Long hair should be tied back, and hairstyles should be practical for school (no extreme cuts or colours).
• Headscarves worn for religious reasons should be plain and in the school colours of black, blue, or white.
• No jewellery, nail polish, or smartwatches are permitted.
• Water bottles should contain water only.  

Upholding Our Values

By adhering to our uniform policy, students at Waterside Academy demonstrate their commitment to our shared values. A smart, well-maintained appearance reflects the pride we take in our school and our dedication to creating an environment conducive to learning and growth.

If you have any questions or concerns about our uniform requirements, please don't hesitate to contact the school office. We are here to support you and ensure your child is equipped for success.
