Generic school shoe requirements based on uniform guidelines.
School Uniform Guidelines
Children should wear suitable black shoes during the school day. While boots may be worn to and from school in the winter, a separate pair of shoes must be provided for use in class.
Students in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 are required to wear plimsolls for PE activities. For Years 3, 4, 5, and 6, trainers should be used for outdoor wear, though indoor hall sessions are typically done barefoot unless a verruca necessitates footwear.

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
