Uniform
At Newton, we have thought carefully about our school uniform and have chosen it because it is smart, comfortable and practical for primary aged children, and affordable for families:
- White or red polo shirt, with or without school logo
- Red sweatshirt or cardigan, with or without the school logo
- Black or dark grey trousers
- Black or dark grey knee length skirt/pinafore
- Dark coloured socks
- Sensible black school shoes
- Black or dark grey shorts
- Red/white checked dresses
P.E. Uniform
- Royal blue T-Shirt, plain or with school logo
- Royal blue or black sweatshirt or hooded top, plain or with school logo
- Black plain PE shorts
- Black tracksuit bottoms
- Black plimsolls or trainers (for indoor PE)
- Trainers (for outdoor PE)
Uniform with the school logo, school bags, book bags, gym bags and accessories are available to purchase through our school uniform supplier, Just-Schoolwear, but are entirely optional. We do ask however, that children carry equipment in a small, sensible bag rather than plastic carrier bags.

During the summer months, we ask all parents to ensure that their child brings a hat to school and also has applied sunscreen before coming to school.
Hats/Hair Coverings: Children may not wear hats, caps, handkerchiefs, bandanas, scarves, or other head coverings indoors at school. Exceptions can be made for religious and/or medical reasons.
Hair: Hair should be neat, brushed and tied back if long –for both girls and boys.
Piercings: Earrings if worn must only be small studs and either be removed by the child or left at home on PE days.
Necklaces/Chains/Watches: Necklaces and chains are not permitted. Watches can be worn, but must be removed by the child for sporting activities.
Feet: Sensible flat shoes or black trainers. It is advisable that the children bring Wellington boots on snowy or very wet days, as we like to be able to go out in all weathers. Heeled shoes are not acceptable.
Hands/Nails/Make up: Children may not wear bracelets, armbands, or multiple rings. Nails should be free of any artificial enhancements or colour. Make up is not permitted.
Non-Uniform Days: A non-uniform day allows a child to express his/her individuality through their attire. The expectation is for the child to wear garments that fit appropriately and are non-offensive. Any article of clothing that is deemed inappropriate for a non-uniform day will result in the child being required to change. Sometimes for school trips other clothing is requested, please consider appropriateness for the weather conditions expected.
Health and Safety: For safety reasons, jewellery must not be worn in school. Only watches and stud earrings may be worn if necessary but they must be removed for P.E. lessons by your child. If your child has recently had their ears pierced, then they will need to cover their ears for PE sessions.
