  • School Uniform

    At Sneinton St. Stephen's, our school uniform helps create a sense of belonging, pride and unity.

    We are committed to keeping uniform affordable for families. There is no requirement to buy branded school clothing— suitable uniform can be purchased from any retailer, and school-branded items are entirely optional. 


    Our School Uniform

    Children from Foundation 2 onwards should wear:

    • red sweatshirt or cardigan
    • white shirt or polo shirt
    • black or grey trousers, dress, skirt or school shorts
    • red and white checked summer dress
    • black closed-toe shoes or black trainers
    • black or red headscarf, where worn.

    We don't specify different summer and winter uniforms. Families can choose what is most comfortable and appropriate for their child throughout the year.

    For safety, children should not wear open footwear such as sandals, flip-flops or Crocs. 
     

    PE Kit

    On PE days, children come to school wearing their PE kit for the whole day:

    • white T-shirt
    • black or red shorts
    • dark grey or black jogging bottoms or leggings
    • black trainers.

    Children can continue to wear their school sweatshirt or cardigan over their PE kit.

    No branded PE kit is required. No child will miss PE, enrichment or sporting activities because they do not have the correct kit — please speak to us if you need support. 
     

    Pre-Loved Uniform

    We want good-quality uniform to be reused rather than wasted — and to make getting school uniform as affordable as possible.

    Our online pre-loved uniform shop, provided through Cress, allows families to see the uniform currently available in school, add the items they need to their basket and order online.

    We also welcome donations of clean, good-quality school uniform. These can be dropped off at reception.

    We understand that children's circumstances and needs are different.
