Robert Shaw Primary School has a school uniform which has been agreed by the parents, carers and Governors. We expect that all children will wear the school colours. This helps to develop a sense of pride and belonging to Robert Shaw School. Parents can find uniform without a school logo in the correct school colours at most major supermarkets.

- Navy blue sweatshirt, cardigan or jumper
- White or light-blue polo shirt, shirt or blouse

School Branded Uniform
We have two established suppliers of new school uniform with the school logo on it, with differing clothing ranges and prices.
Jewellery
Jewellery is not allowed for safety reasons. If your child has pierced ears then stud earrings may be worn, however these must be removed for PE and swimming. Basic watches may be worn but we have a no smart watch policy in school.
Make-Up
It is not approriate for children to wear make-up at school, and any child who does so will be asked to remove it. If they cannot do this themselves a parent will be contacted to come into school and remove it. This includes things like blemish patches and other trending accessories.
Valuable Items
Valuable items such as gaming consoles and systems, radio MP3s, earbuds, airpods etc should not be brought into school. Mobile phones are not permitted, and must be handed in to the School Office if brought to school. These can then be collected at the end of each day.
