School Uniform Shoe List

Generic school shoe requirements based on uniform guidelines.

School Uniform Guidelines

Students must wear black shoes (not trainers) which are low heeled/flat. It would be helpful if younger children wear shoes that they can fasten for themselves. During the warmer months, lightweight black shoes are acceptable, these must be worn with socks. Please do not send your child to school in open toed sandals.

Sports Uniform List Reception, Year 1 and Year 2: White t-shirt, navy blue shorts, white sports socks, navy sweatshirt, trainers (not plimsolls) Sports clothing does not need the school logo.  For PE young children find it more difficult to cope with small buttons so we advise T-shirts and elasticated waists on shorts. Plimsolls should be slip-on or velcro. Key Stage 2 – Year 3 to Year 6 Required kit from ChromaSport: Boys and Girls: Blue and Amber jersey top with school logo Boys and Girls: Amber jersey top with school logo Boys and Girls: Royal blue polyester polo shirt with school logo Boys or Girls: Navy blue honeycomb polyester shorts -  (Medallion Sportswear) Girls: Navy blue skort - (Medallion Sportswear)   Required additional kit from ChromaSport and other suppliers for all pupils: White sports socks, Royal or Navy Blue Rugby/Hockey Socks Plain Navy Tracksuit bottoms Trainers Football or rugby boots, preferably with studs and not blades.

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
