    School Uniform

    Lainesmead Primary and Nursery School is moving to an Active Uniform, designed to support children’s comfort, confidence, movement and learning throughout the school day.

    Uniform can be ordered online here : Sunbeam Clothing

    Phased introduction

    • From September 2025: pupils may choose to wear the Active Uniform on non-PE days
    • From September 2026: the Active Uniform will become the expected everyday school uniform for all pupils

    This phased approach ensures families have time to prepare and supports affordability.

    Everyday Active Uniform (from September 2026)

    Children should wear:

    • navy polo shirt – branded or unbranded;
    • navy or black joggers or leggings;
    • shorts in warmer weather;
    • plain navy or school-branded sweatshirt, jumper, fleece, cardigan or hoodie;
    • black trainers (Velcro fastening unless the child can independently tie their laces).

    PE Kit from September 2026

    On PE days from September 2026, pupils should wear:

    • Navy PE t-shirt
    • Joggers, leggings or shorts
    • Black trainers

    Additional footwear (e.g. football boots) may be permitted for clubs but is not required for curriculum PE.

    Outdoor and weather requirements

    • A waterproof coat should be brought to school in wet or cold weather
    • All pupils must have a pair of wellies in school at all times
    • Hats, gloves and scarves are encouraged in colder weather

    Affordability and support

    The school is committed to keeping uniform affordable and inclusive.

    Branded items are optional and kept to a minimum.  Families can purchase suitable unbranded navy items and do not have to purchase uniform carrying the school logo.

    Support is available for families who need help with uniform costs. Please contact the school office in confidence.
