School Uniform Shoe List

Official school shoe requirements based on uniform guidelines.

School Uniform Guidelines

Pupils must wear black school shoes made of leather or a similar material, or they may wear smart black boots that are not canvas or marked with labels. Black trainers are also permitted provided they are entirely black, have a solid, flat black sole, and contain no air bubbles, platforms, embellishments, logos, or alternative colours. The laces on all school shoes and trainers must be black. Shoes that are canvas, bear labels, have non‑black colours, logos, or any non‑black laces or soles are not allowed. Trainers with excessive platform soles or any non‑black design features are also prohibited.

Pupils must wear white or black trainers with non‑marking soles for PE, sports, games and swimming lessons. The trainers must have a solid, flat sole that does not leave marks on the sports hall floor.

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
