Uniform
Standards of Uniform
At Bowling Park, we are successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. An important part of this is having the correct uniform and PE kit. Whilst it has been fantastic to see our pupils arrive dressed smartly in their uniform, I must stress the importance of all pupils abiding by our uniform policy and the expectations for how they present themselves in school. Please see the reminders below.
If there are any particular issues around uniform, such as certain items are yet to arrive or indeed any other issues, please contact your child’s class teacher in the first instance.
Please Note:
- Your child/ren may come dressed in their PE clothing on the days they have PE lessons. There is no need to bring their school uniform in a bag as they will remain in their PE kits for the entire day.
- If your child brings in a packed lunch, water will be provided in school and they do not need to bring in any drinks from home.

Financial hardship
We are here to support families struggling with the cost of uniform. If you require help, please come speak to us.
Families can obtain all items of uniform (without the school logo) from a wide range of retailers (including supermarkets) to allow them to seek best value for money.
Please note: The school also has a stock of second-hand uniform available to families; please contact the school office for further information.
Nursery
Children in Nursery may come to school in their own clothes, if they wish. However, if they would like to wear uniform, children can follow the same guidelines as the rest of school (see above).
JEWELLERY
For health and safety reasons, we do not allow children to wear jewellery.
If children have pierced ears, a small pair of plain studs may be worn. These must be removed for PE; please remove them before school if your child is unable to do this independently. No other piercings are allowed.
ITEMS OF RELIGIOUS WEAR
Bowling Park respects the rights of children to express their culture and religion in their uniform choices, where necessary.
Headscarves or similar items should be plain blue, black or white.
