Hewitt’s Pricelist:
Thank you for sending your child to school in uniform. Uniform helps children feel part of the group and minimises distractions.
Flashing trainers and large or sparkling accessories etc all act as distractions to the children’s learning and are not allowed.
Please label all uniform and belongings clearly with your child’s name.
Our uniform is as follows
RECEPTION AND NURSERY
- White polo shirt
- Royal blue sweatshirt with logo
- Royal blue joggers/Royal blue shorts in summer
- Trainers with Velcro fastenings
- Water bottle
No dresses or skirts of any kind can be worn by any gender in Nursery or Reception.
YEAR 1 – YEAR 6
- White shirt with school tie (elasticated tie available for younger children) and worn with the top button done up and shirt tucked in;
- Plain grey trousers or shorts (not combat style);

PE KIT for all year groups

- Water bottle.
Sports clothing with large logos and/or slogans may not be worn.
Old/cheap trainers are best for work on the field (they will get muddy so please don’t send in expensive ones!)
Hoodies or jumpers other than the Selsdon school jumper or cardigan or Selsdon tracksuit top may not be worn.
Please note hoodies are not permitted. They will be confiscated if worn in school.
SWIMMING
Children who go swimming require the correct swimming kit.
- Bikinis are not permitted. Children should wear one-piece swimsuits only.
- Swimming trunks must be made specifically for swimming, for example football shorts, or other shorts are not permitted. Speedo trunks are ideal, but swim shorts must be at least above the knee.
- All children must wear a swimming hat.
JEWELLERY
For safety reasons, we prefer pupils not to wear earrings. If they are worn, they must be plain studs, not hooped/glass/diamond-effect/football club emblems etc. Children will be asked to remove inappropriate earrings. For PE lessons, children must remove their earrings themselves, or have them taped. It would be preferable if earrings were not worn on PE days. Other piercings are not permitted. The only other jewellery allowed is that worn for religious or medical reasons, and a named wrist watch for children from Year 3 upwards (no smart watches or wearable technology permitted). Bracelets, neck chains and rings are not permitted at any time.
HAIR/NAILS
Hair should be tidy. Long hair must be tied back and children whose hair is not tied back will be asked to do so. No elaborate or extreme hair ties or hair accessories. Children must not wear nail varnish or make-up to school. If they do, they will be asked to remove it.
BAGS
Bags take up a considerable amount of space in school and we ask that children only bring smaller, draw-string bags.
PERSONAL PROPERTY
Whilst every effort is made to take care of children’s personal property, the School cannot take responsibility for the loss of any items. All items brought to school must be clearly named.
OTHER
Water bottles (labelled and preferably with a sports cap) are essential and a part of our school uniform. If your child fails to bring a water bottle to school, they may not be able to get a drink until break/lunchtimes.
UNDERSHIRTS
Whilst we would rather that children did not add to their PE kit in this way, if your child must wear a long-sleeved t-shirt under your PE t-shirt, it must conform to the following guidelines:
- it must be navy blue or black – no other colours are permitted
- it must be plain – no patterns, designs or logos
- it must be tight to the skin – no loose jumpers or loose t-shirts
- it must not have a visible neckline – no “mock” necks or “polo necks”
If undershirts are not in line with this policy, children will be asked to remove them.
Please note: no visible undershirts are allowed under school uniform. (for example, long sleeved “skins” under short-sleeved shirts).
