Uniform

Dore Primary School Dress Code

Staff and Governors ask all parents to support us in ensuring that all pupils follow the dress code.

We would strongly recommend that you purchase school uniform, coats and waterproofs that allow your child to be warm and dry during any outdoor learning, playtimes and lunchtimes.

Children in Foundation Stage, Y1 and Y2 access year-round outdoor learning as part of their daily provision, so warm clothing and waterproof outerwear is essential to be worn every day.

The coats and waterproofs on School Trends are not part of our school uniform, but provide a guide for what you may want to buy, and are a good value option. All other items can be purchased from other providers, but do check out School Trends so you have an idea of what to buy.

We also periodically have second hand uniform sales, which are run by our Parents’ Association (DPA)

Any funds raised by the sale of school uniform are used to improve school resources.
