Uniform

At Ashford Park Primary School, one of our values is that of 'belonging'. We endeavour to make sure that all pupils and families feel that they belong to the APPS community and in doing so, pupils take great pride in wearing their APPS uniform which identifies them in school and in the community as being a part of our school.

Looking smart and feeling a sense of belonging goes a long way to encouraging a strong sense of self-belief and self-esteem which sets up APPS pupils with a life skill which benefits them now and for their successful futures.

School Uniform Direct is the official uniform supplier of Ashford Park Primary School. As part of their focus on sustainability and affordability, School Uniform Direct has partnered with OldSchoolUniform.co.uk to offer parents the opportunity to purchase, request and recycle pre-loved uniforms.

Please follow the link to schooluniformdirect.co.uk where you will be able to purchase Ashford Park uniform with logos including jumpers, cardigans, PE bags, book bags, caps, coats and beanie hats.

Our wish is that parents or carers buy one APPS jumper or cardigan with the school logo and that children wear a white collared-shirt with a tie all year-round. During hot weather, if children prefer to wear a polo-shirt, we request that you purchase the APPS polo shirt.

Many items of uniform such as shoes, socks, white shirts, grey skirts, shorts, trousers and summer dresses can be purchased from a range of outlets including supermarkets.

The APPS summer uniform can be worn from the Spring Holiday until the October half-term and consists of the following:

  • A red and white chequered summer dress
  • Dark grey shorts or skirt
  • White polo shirt with logo (no tie required with a polo shirt)
  • Or, continue to wear a white shirt with a tie
  • Red cardigan or jumper with APPS logos
  • Black school shoes: no slip-ons and no sandals (shoes must be sturdy and safe for your child to wear whilst running and playing

 

The APPS winter uniform should be worn from the October half-term until the Spring Holiday and consists of:

  • Dark grey trousers or skirt
  • White shirt with APPS tie (Reception children can continue to wear polo shirts if wearing a tie is tricky for them)
  • Red jumper or cardigan with the APPS logo
  • Dark grey tights or socks
  • Black school shoes (suitable for wet weather, running and playing)

The APPS PE Kit should be worn to school on PE days and consists of the following:

  • Red t-shirt
