Uniform

At Barrs Court, we are proud of our uniform. Your support and cooperation with this is very much appreciated. Our smartly dressed children are part of what gives our school a good reputation. We expect all children to wear uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-based event outside normal school hours.

School Uniform

Navy sweatshirts/cardigans, plus matching tracksuit bottoms in the same material and yellow polo and T-shirts with the school logo are available through school.  Navy baseball caps and knitted woolly hats with the school logo are also available.  A school book bag is available from the office at £4.

Barrs Court Uniform is available from Initially Yours in Soundwell. Call in in person, phone 0117 967 4472 or click here to order online.

Swimming

All Key Stage 2 children swim for one term at Longwell Green Swimming Pool.  For swimming and games the navy school tracksuit is ideal as well as a towel and swimsuit [no Bermuda shorts or bikinis/tankinis please].  Some members of staff hold an ASA qualification and parent helpers assist poolside and in the changing rooms.

Jewellery and Personal Items

Apart from watches and plain gold or silver stud earrings [which must be removed or taped for PE] the wearing of jewellery is not permitted.

Please label all items clearly with your child’s name.  Children should not bring ‘precious things’ to school – we will not accept responsibility if they get lost or damaged.  Mobile phones are not permitted.
