The wearing of school uniform is something the school wishes to strongly encourage.  School is your child’s special place and we hope to encourage him/her to feel proud to be part of Balfour Infants’.  Wearing school uniform greatly contributes to a child’s sense of belonging and pride in his/her school.  The uniform can be acquired locally from the "School Time" Website below.

Please ensure you put your child’s name is on EVERYTHING, as it is difficult for children to recognise their own unnamed clothes if they lose them.  Many children become distressed if there is confusion over their belongings.

P.E:

For P.E. pupils require in a close fitting ‘T’ shirt and close fitting shorts.  ‘T’ shirts with wide sleeves or wide legged and/or drawstring waist shorts are unsuitable as they can catch on apparatus and cause accidents.  Your child will also need a pair of elastic fronted plimsolls for outdoor games.

P.E. Bags:

A drawstring bag, approx. 15” x 15” will be needed to store the above items.  It is also useful to provide your child with a spare pair of pants in the plastic bag, in case of ‘accidents’

Please write on the label with a laundry marker or sew name tapes into their clothes, we find that iron-on name tapes quickly become unstuck.
