School Uniform Shoe List

Generic school shoe requirements based on uniform guidelines.

School Uniform Guidelines

All items of school clothing, including PE Kit and bags, should be clearly marked with the child’s name so lost items can be returned to their owner. Items which are not labelled are put in the lost property and unclaimed items will be disposed of at the end of each half term. If you have difficulties with the cost of purchasing your child’s uniform, please come to the school office for confidential advice and/or support or speak to Paula Olurin (Pastoral Care Manager). The PSA also holds regular second-hand uniform sales throughout the year. Recycled uniform (in good condition) is available to purchase at a greatly reduced price. 

Plain white T-shirt with no branded logos (no sports or football shirts).   Plain black sports shorts or plain black jogging bottoms with no branded logos.    Plain black sweatshirt with no branded logos for colder months (optional).   Grey, black or white socks (plain)   Grey or black tights.   Trainers or plain black plimsolls.

School Shoe Fitting Guidelines

Children's feet grow quickly - they may need new shoes every 3-4 months depending on age and activity level.

Check for Proper Fit:

  • Allow approximately half an inch (1.3 cm) of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe
  • Ensure the width is comfortable with no pinching or bulging
  • The heel should fit snugly without slipping
  • Shoes should be comfortable immediately - no "breaking in" period needed

When to Replace:

  • When there's less than half an inch of growing room
  • If the shoe shows signs of wear or damage
  • If your child complains of discomfort or pain
  • Check regularly for redness or blisters on your child's feet

Measuring Tips:

  • Measure both feet while standing
  • Measure at the end of the day when feet are at their largest
  • Have your child wear the type of socks they'll wear with the shoes
  • Use the measuring gauge on page 2 only if you can't get the shoes fitted professionally
  • Shoes from different brands may have different sizing, so it's important to try them on
