We firmly believe that how a child dresses affects his/her attitude to learning and behaviour.  At Buckfastleigh we would like our children to take pride in their appearance to give them a sense of belonging.  Our school uniform is smart and practical.

At Buckfastleigh Primary School, we expect our children to wear uniform for the following reasons:

• ·          To contribute to the sense of belonging to our school family.
• ·          To give children an identity related to our school.
• ·          To promote pride in our school.
• ·          To present the best image of the school to other schools and the community.
• ·          To help parents avoid conflict over dress and reduce cost.
• ·          To minimise risks to health and safety.

The Buckfastleigh Primary School uniform consists of:

• ·          A plain white polo shirt
• ·          Sky blue polo shirt for those pupils in Year 6
• ·          Navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan with school logo
• ·          Grey or black school trousers, shorts or skirt (no combat trousers, tracksuits, leggings or jeans)
• ·          Lined waterproof coat or fleece with a school logo (optional)
• ·          Plain dark or white socks/black, navy or grey tights

Welcome

Welcome to our Direct to Parents service provided by School Trends. Here you can order and pay for your school uniform. There are no minimum order quantities and your uniform will be delivered directly to your chosen address.

As well as our approved decorated school uniform, you are also able to order plain items such as trousers and skirts.

School Trends aim for the highest standards both in quality and service. We feel that they supply clothing that represents excellent value for money.

·         All the garments are purpose made for the school wear market to ensure they are hard wearing and durable.

·         The orders also go through a number of stringent checks made from the initiation of orders through to the delivery of merchandise.

Other ordering information including sizes, delivery information and the returns procedure is also available here.

Finally, please ensure that all clothing is clearly marked with your child’s name.

Every term we have boxes of unmarked and unclaimed ‘lost property’. Please help us reduce this!
