A uniform is more than a badge or item of clothing, it gives a sense of belonging. We believe that the best uniform is one that is high quality, but most importantly – affordable for parents.
A uniform provides children with a routine that will benefit them as they move forward in their education. We have high expectations of all our pupils, and this includes uniform. All pupils are expected to attend in full uniform, unless alternative prior arrangements have been made (e.g due to sensory issues or an injury). Jumpers and cardigans should have the Crofton Infants School badge on and can be purchased from our supplier Gooddies. The rest of our uniform can be purchased from anywhere, with or without a badge.
Uniform Exchange Point
We have a uniform exchange point in the main reception. This is to support parents/carers with the financial constraints of the cost of uniform and to support our Eco Schools to re-use and recycle. These bins are located in the main Reception, please feel free to come in and have a look though or drop off at any point.
