Generic school shoe requirements based on uniform guidelines.

School Uniform Guidelines

Students must wear solid black shoes, free from contrasting colours, logos and designs (with laces or Velcro strap or buckle strap). Open-toed sandals or trainers are not allowed.

Students must wear a red polo shirt (school badge preferred), plain black shorts (appropriate length) and either black pumps for EYFS/KS1 or budget trainers for KS2 (to remain in school). During cold weather, students must also wear a plain black budget sports tracksuit (to remain in school). Long hair must be tied back at all times and stud earrings only are permitted, to be removed before PE days.

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
