Mellor Community Primary School

School Uniform

At Mellor, uniform is an important part of our school’s identity. We believe that children wearing school uniform promotes a sense of pride, symbolises belonging to the school and creates a sense of community. 

We ask all parents who send their children to our school to support the School Uniform Policy. We believe that parents have a duty to send their children to school correctly dressed and ready for their daily schoolwork. Parents should ensure that their child has the correct uniform, and that it is clean and in good repair. Head scarves and hair accessories e.g. bands and bows should also be plain and in school colours.

The school's Dress Code

  • Trousers/Skirts/Tunics

    Blue, Black or Grey

  • Sweatshirt/ Cardigans (no hoodies)

    Black or Blue Mellor logo top or completely plain top. (No other logos allowed)

  • Polo Shirts or Cotton Shirts

    Black/Grey/Blue/White

  • Shoes

    Plain, all black school shoes or completely black trainers (no white/coloured logos, markings, sole or flashing lights).

NO LOGO OTHER THAN THE MELLOR SUN SHOULD BE SEEN ON CLOTHING

 

Labelling Clothes

It is essential that you label or sew in a tag to your child’s clothing and equipment. Lost property is full of un-labelled items which can’t be easily returned to you.

PE Kit

  • PE kit: Black shorts or jogging bottoms and sweatshirts (no hoodies), plain white t-shirt and all black trainers (no coloured soles, logos or flashing lights).  If children already wear black trainers as part of their school uniform these can also be worn for PE.

  • Jewellery:  On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school. The exceptions to this rule are small objects of religious significance. We ask the children either to remove these objects during PE and games, or to cover them with tape.  School staff are not responsible for the safe keeping of jewellery and cannot be held responsible if items go missing.

Uniforms

Parents can now also purchase gently-used uniforms at a fraction of the price from Uniformd, with funds from sales going directly back to the school. When you buy on the platform, you are not only investing back into the school but also contributing to a more sustainable future, reducing the amount of wearable uniform going to land-fill.  

Parents can also donate second-hand uniform that is in good condition to be re-sold on the site.  Please see the school office.

Local Supermarkets

Please note all items of our dress code can also usually be purchased from local supermarkets.  There is no requirement for children to wear jumpers with the Mellor logo, as long as these are plain and in school colours.
