Following a ballot of parents, the School Governors decided to approve the uniform for Mortimer Primary School.

All clothing should be clearly marked with your child’s name.

  • Navy blue skirt or pinafore dress
  • Red jumper/cardigan/sweatshirt
  • Light blue or white polo shirt
  • Light blue or white blouse.

  • Navy blue trousers (no jeans please)
  • Navy blue skirt or pinafore dress
  • Navy jumper/cardigan/sweatshirt
  • Light blue or white polo shirt
  • Light blue or white blouse.
  • Navy or white socks or tights
  • Please note that all trousers and skirts should be navy blue—not black.
  • Dark, preferably black, footwear should be worn with low heels for general safety. Leggings are not part of our school uniform.
  • In summer we hope the children would wear items like light blue/white polo shorts and navy shorts or a plain blue or blue patterned dress.
  • Socks should be worn with all footwear.
  • Fleeces should be worn as outdoor jackets and not inside school.
  • Haircuts—we do not allow shaved and/or designed haircuts.
  • Children may wear a watch and a pair of stud earrings however they must be removed for P.E. lessons.
  • Make up and nail varnish are not allowed, long hair should be neatly tied back.

For P.E. and Games

  • Navy blue or black shorts or games skirts
  • In KS1 light blue or white t-shirt.
  • In KS2 children can wear a t-shirt of their house colour. These can be ordered from the school during the summer term but a plain t-shirt in these colours is also acceptable.  (Beech—red, Oak—green, Willow-blue and Birch—yellow)
  • Black or white plimsolls for indoor P.E. and trainers for outdoor P.E.
  • Children both in KS1 and KS2 need a warm outdoor tracksuit or similar for outdoor PE.
  • For safety reasons long hair must be tied back for P.E. and children must be able to remove earrings. (Staff members are not allowed to remove earrings for children.)

Children need their P.E. kits in school at all times. 

Buying your uniform:

There is no requirement to wear uniform with the school logo. Clothes in the correct colours are also readily available at most supermarkets and high street stores.

Those who wish to wear branded uniform with our school logo can find it at  Initial Images. We do not accept orders or payment at school, however they will take orders over the phone and orders can be paid for on collection at their premises.

Watch the school website and newsletters for details of uniform-order shops being held at school in the summer term.
