Uniform

As it is necessary to buy suitable clothing for school, it has been agreed (after consultation with the parents) to adopt a school uniform. We believe that a school uniform gives children a feeling of belonging, encouraging co-operation, common goals and team spirit.

As you know, last September we set up online uniform purchasing with Tesco. At that time the current provider did not offer online purchasing, but they have since set up this option.
 
We are now pleased to be able to offer you the options of buying uniform and additional items from two companies as follows:-
The link to access the Brigade website is:-
 
http://www.brigade.uk.com/content.php?page=select_school&for=parents
 
and takes you directly to the website page, type in Tangmere Primary Academy and the selection is there for you to choose from. As you will see, Brigade can deliver your orders, whether one item or many, free of charge to the school ready for your collection.
 
The Tesco website link is

Most items are available from any local department store. The sweatshirts and T-shirts which have the school logo are available from Tesco Direct (https://www.tesco.com/direct/tangmere-primary-academy/17382.school?t=1499431444886&source=others). 

We are well aware of the cost of clothing and urge you to clearly label every item of your child’s clothing to avoid loss, confusion and time wastage

Accessories

Please could children wear plain headbands.

Jewellery


Please discourage your child from wearing jewellery to school! Jewellery is easily lost or damaged and more importantly, can cause unpleasant injuries. If your child’s ears are pierced, please see that they wear only studs which cannot be caught in
clothing, causing torn earlobes. We cannot accept responsibility for jewellery worn to school.

We also thoroughly discourage children from wearing nail polish.
