Portway Junior School Uniform

Uniform is worn at Portway Junior School to develop a sense of pride, identity and belonging in being a member of the school community. We believe that looking smart will help us to feel pride in who we are as a part of the Portway family and to take pride in all we do.

  • Your child may bring in a small rucksack/school bag and a PE bag - they should be clearly named. These will need to fit into your child's locker during the day. 
Jewellery:
  • On health and safety grounds children are encouraged not to wear jewellery, as this can cause problems with safety during the school day.
  • Small plain studs in pierced ears and small watches (excluding smart watches) are allowed.
  • For safety reasons, the county stipulates that the wearing of earrings during PE lessons is forbidden.
  • If a child cannot remove an earring it must be covered. Earring tape should be provided from home.
  • Medical bracelets and medical necklaces are exempt from these rules.
Make up and hair:
  • Make up (including nail varnish) is not permitted to be worn in school.
  • Haircuts should be appropriate for school and not classed as ‘extreme’ e.g. completely shaved heads, shaved designs/patterns, Mohawk cuts or dyed hair.
  • Hair accessories such as hair bands should be discreet e.g. no oversized bows, novelty headbands etc.

The PTA regularly hold second hand uniform sales. Please ask in the school office or look out for information in a Portway Press.
