All children are expected to arrive at school wearing the correct school uniform. Every effort is made to keep our school uniform as simple and economical as possible.

To purchase school uniform, please visit The School Shop, West Moors.

Hair, Jewellery and Make-up

Hair should be a natural colour. We ask parents to avoid allowing fashion hairstyles during term time, including shaved heads, patterns and hair tattoos. Inappropriate hair accessories/designs and unnatural hair colours are not permitted.

Children with pierced ears may wear one set of plain metal studs. These must be removed for safety during PE/Games sessions.

Any other jewellery and/or make-up, including nail varnish and extensions, is not permitted.

Please note: The school reserves the right to confiscate or ask children to change any inappropriate items of clothing or accessories worn in school, including short skirts, hoodies or items of jewellery. Where required, the school will supply alternative clothing for the day.

P.E. Kit

• FMS blue and white reversible long-sleeved games shirt
• FMS logo royal blue short-sleeved shirt
• Plain black shorts (no tight gymnastic or cycling-style shorts or logos)
• Long blue socks or white sports socks
• Training shoes and studded footwear*
• Shin pads and a towel
• PE bag

A tracksuit is optional but, if worn, must be plain black or navy with no logos or stripes. Hoodies should not be worn during PE lessons.

*Studded footwear is preferable. If your child does not have studded footwear, we suggest sending them with an old pair of trainers that you do not mind getting muddy, along with a separate bag to store them in.

No jewellery is to be worn in PE and Games lessons.

Second-hand Uniform

The school holds a stock of second-hand uniform available to purchase at greatly reduced prices. Sale days are advertised to parents, but please contact the school office if there is something you would like to purchase before these dates.

Clothing Assistance

Parents may apply to the school for assistance with purchasing uniform or PE kit if they have successfully applied to Dorset Council for Free School Meals.

The school will know if a parent is eligible for clothing assistance when Dorset Council confirms eligibility for Targeted Free Meals. Children who are entitled to Expanded Free School Meals will not routinely be entitled to Clothing Assistance.

Those eligible for Clothing Assistance will be entitled to a sum of up to £50 every year towards the total cost.

This can be claimed by completing the relevant form and providing a bona fide receipt for the purchase to the school office, which will be endorsed.
