We feel it is important that children feel comfortable and happy whilst at school. Wearing a uniform unites us as a Longstone family, a place where we are all nurtured as equals, but have the opportunity to remain unique individuals.  The school encourages the wearing of uniform and the children enjoy showing that they belong to the school in this way.

New school uniform can be ordered via www.logoleisurewear.com and it will be sent to school free of charge. 

Second-hand uniform is available in the school entrance, donations can be made via the FOLS postbox if you wish.

Jewellery

For reasons of safety, children should not wear jewellery to school.

The following exceptions apply:

• Earrings must be removed for PE wherever possible.
• If a child is unable to remove their earrings independently, they will be covered with micropore tape during PE lessons.

Children may wear a wristwatch if they wish. However, the school cannot accept responsibility for the loss or damage of any personal items brought into school.

Lost Property

Unnamed items found in school will be placed in the lost property box located near the school office.

Items that remain unclaimed for an extended period will be donated, recycled or disposed of as appropriate.

IMPORTANT

Please ensure that all clothing, footwear and personal belongings are clearly labelled with your child's name.

This helps us return misplaced items quickly and prevents unnecessary loss of property.

Together, we can ensure our children look smart, feel comfortable and take pride in being part of the Longstone family.
