School Uniform Shoe List
Official school shoe requirements based on uniform guidelines.
Pupils must wear black school shoes with closed toes as the sole footwear for everyday attendance. Trainers or sports shoes are not permitted in the regular uniform, except when pupils are wearing their designated PE kit. Open‑toed shoes and sandals are also disallowed, as they pose safety hazards and are not part of the required uniform. The shoes must be properly laced, with children not able to tie them independently, to maintain a neat and professional appearance.
Pupils must wear trainers when they are wearing the PE kit for PE lessons.
Trainers are required for the PE kit at all year groups – Nursery, Foundation, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
Trainers are the only footwear allowed for PE, sports or games; no other type of footwear is required for these activities.
Regular school shoes may only be worn if the child is also wearing the PE kit.

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
