School Uniform Shoe List
Official school shoe requirements based on uniform guidelines.
Pupils in Reception to Year 6 must wear sensible black shoes with closed toes during the school day.
In the nursery, pupils must wear strong shoes that are suitable for climbing, with Velcro fastenings where possible, and must not wear Crocs, open‑toed shoes or sandals.
Shoes with open toes, trainers, plimsolls or boots are prohibited while at school, although pupils may change into trainers at lunchtime.
The policy does not specify any other shoe colours or styles beyond those described.
Pupils must wear trainers or plimsolls for indoor PE lessons, and they should wear white socks with these shoes.
No footwear requirement is specified for outdoor games or swimming lessons.

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
