School Uniform
School Uniform List
We believe that uniform, apart from being practical, helps children develop a sense of identity with our school while at the same time creating an image of which we can all be proud. Our school uniform is simple, bright and comfortable.
Girls
- Red jumper, cardigan or sweatshirt (with or without MV logo*)
- White polo shirt or blouse (with or without MV logo*)
- Dark grey skirt, tunic dress or smart grey trousers – belts and buttons can be difficult for younger children to manage, especially when going to the toilet
- White socks or grey, black or white tights
- Suitable black shoes – please avoid ‘boot’ style shoes and laces
In summer a short sleeve blouse is acceptable, or alternatively, a dress in small red and white checked material. Sandals may be worn and these should be black, red, white, navy or brown. No sling-backs, peep-toe, platform soles or heels may be worn for health and safety reasons.
Boys
- A red jumper, cardigan or sweatshirt (with or without MV logo*)
- White polo shirt or shirt (with or without MV logo*)
- Dark grey trousers or shorts – belts and buttons can be difficult for younger children to manage, especially when going to the toilet
- Grey socks
- Suitable black shoes – please avoid ‘boot’ style shoes and laces
In summer a short-sleeved white or red polo or short-sleeve white shirt (with or without MV logo*) may be worn.
Children can also wear an optional red fleece, ideal for Spring and Autumn weather, which can be purchased through the PTA.
Hair and jewellery
- Long hair must be tied back for health and safety reasons.
- Children may wear only small stud earrings to school but these must be removed on the day your child has P.E./swimming. No other jewellery may be worn.
Book bags and wellingtons
All Reception children must have a Marian Vian book bag and a pair of wellington boots.
P.E kit
- Black shorts
- Red T-Shirt
- Plimsolls (socks if tights are being worn).
- P.E kit should be kept in a bag and hung on your child’s peg. The school sells red drawstring P.E bags with the MV logo.
You will be notified when your child has outdoor P.E and Bushcraft and what clothing is appropriate (usually plain joggers, plain sweatshirt and trainers). Please make sure you choose clothing that your child can manage to get on and off independently. With the best will in the world we cannot undress and dress 30 children for P.E. – we can really only help with the odd trouser button or tricky buckle.
Each item of clothing must be clearly marked with your child’s name.

How to order nearly new (good condition second hand) uniform
The PTA operates a second hand uniform service. Previously used uniform (in good condition) is donated and we then sell donations at an incredibly reasonable cost. Most items are only £1!
P.E. kits as well as winter and summer uniforms for both boys and girls are in plentiful supply.
For nearly new uniform please email the PTA on mvptanearlynew@gmail.com
Donating or purchasing second hand uniform items delivers 100% profit to the PTA and is a great way to support us.
