Brookfield Infant School has a uniform and Governors and staff believe that our school uniform adds to the ‘ethos’ of the school. It is worn by all the pupils. Any of the local multiple stores such as BHS and Marks and Spencer carry most of the items so parents can "shop around" for the best value for money. However, only the school will maintain stocks of the school tie, book bags, summer hats, pullover and/or cardigan.
The full range and description of the uniform is as follows:

*For summer a green and white gingham or striped dress is recommended.
It would be appreciated if black shoes of a style suitable for school wear were provided. Children are expected to change footwear if they wear Wellingtons/boots to school. Shoes with heels are unsafe, and it is requested that parents do not buy girls or boys shoes with high heels. Trainers are not suitable footwear as mud becomes trapped in their soles which when dry drops off about the school.
During Art and Design and Technology, pupils are requested to wear an overall or apron. Red protective aprons are available from the school office.
Jewellery
For safety reasons the wearing of jewellery is not permitted. Ear rings should be small stud type only, and should be removed for Physical Education and games.
Physical Education and Games
Physical Education and Games are compulsory for all children except those temporarily or permanently excluded on health grounds. Such cases must be supported by a letter to the class teacher. Please help your child enjoy Physical Education by providing appropriate clothing. Indoor lessons are performed in bare feet. A bag with your child’s name is required for the following suitable items:-
|
|
Indoors |
Outdoors* |
| Boys |
Black shorts, White PE top or T-shirt
|
Black shorts, White PE top or T-shirt, plus Plimsolls |
| Girls |
Black shorts, White PE top or T-shirt
|
Black shorts, White PE top or T-shirt, plus plimsolls |
*In cooler weather children may wear a tracksuit or their normal school jumper over their P.E. clothes.
For Health and Safety reasons it is imperative that children have a change of footwear for P.E. and Games. The Kent Inspectorate recommends that indoor P.E. is done in bare feet unless excluded on medical advice, (e.g. due to an infection such as verrucae). Trainers or plimsolls are usually suitable for outdoor P.E.
Marking Clothes
Occasionally children lose or misplace articles of clothing. Please help your child to keep track of their clothes by marking all garments that they are likely to remove. It is especially important that cardigans, jumpers and P.E. plimsolls are named as these are the most frequently found items of lost property. |
