All pupils are expected to attend school in appropriate attire. To support parents and promote a sense of unity, we have adopted a clear and consistent school uniform colour scheme.
Our school uniform helps promote a sense of belonging and pride in being part of the Baldwins Gate community.
Pupils typically wear:
Navy sweatshirts and red polo shirts, with or without the school logo
Grey or black trousers or skirts
In warmer weather, girls may choose to wear a blue gingham summer dress.
Uniform with the school logo is optional and can be purchased from local suppliers. Comfortable, practical clothing is encouraged to support active learning throughout the day.
To ensure children can take part safely and comfortably in physical education, all pupils are required to wear:
A plain-coloured T-shirt in their house colour (red, blue, green, or yellow)
Navy or black shorts, joggers, or leggings
Trainers suitable for indoor and outdoor activities
A school sweatshirt or cardigan can be worn over the kit if needed
Children should come to school dressed in their PE kit on their designated PE days.
When children first join Baldwins Gate, they will receive one complimentary house-coloured PE T-shirt. Additional or replacement T-shirts can be purchased directly from the school office.
For swimming lessons, pupils will need:
Girls: a one-piece swimming costume
Boys: swimming trunks (please avoid long swim shorts)
A swimming hat (required for all children)
A named towel
Flip-flops or sliders
Forest School sessions take place outdoors in all weathers, so children must be dressed appropriately to stay warm, dry, and comfortable. Please ensure your child has:
A waterproof coat and waterproof trousers or an all-in-one waterproof suit
Old clothes (long sleeves and trousers) that you don’t mind getting muddy
Wellies
An old hat and gloves in cold weather, and an old sunhat during warmer months
A labelled bag to keep their Forest School kit together
(Your class teacher will let you know your child's forest school day before your child is due to start forest schools).
To help minimise lost property, please ensure that all clothing, footwear, and accessories are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
