School Uniform
Uniform is important at Brindle Gregson Lane Primary School because it helps create a strong sense of belonging and pride among our pupils. It encourages children to feel part of our school community, supports positive behaviour, reduces distractions linked to clothing choices and promotes equality by helping all pupils feel confident and ready to learn. As part of our school value Inspiring Pride, our children wear their uniform with a sense of identity and connection to the BGL family.
All uniform items listed below are required, with an option for summer uniform and families may choose either a bookbag or a backpack.
Our current uniform supplier is Handprints.

We also want to make it clear that it is not compulsory to wear uniform with the BGL logo. More affordable, non-logo alternatives in the correct school colours are fully acceptable, as we want our uniform to remain accessible and affordable for all families.
At BGL second hand uniform is available throughout the year in the reception classroom vestibule area. Parents are provided access daily during pick-up and drop-off times.

Jewellery
For safety reasons, children are NOT allowed to wear any items of jewellery to school. Ear piercing should be done over the summer holidays, so earrings can be removed when back in school. If earrings cannot be removed, then plasters should be used to cover the earrings. Alternatively, children can wear clear, plastic earring retainers.
Hair styles
Hairstyles should be sensible. No extreme hairstyles are permitted. Long hair must be tied back using plain red, plain black or plain grey hair accessories. Mid-length hair must be kept off the face using bobbles where possible, or if this is not possible, headbands and clips must be used to secure the hair off the face. Hair must not be cut shorter than a grade 2 with no gel, spikes, lines or shaved partings.
Make-up/Nail varnish
Make-up and nail varnish is not permitted.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL CLOTHING IS CLEARLY MARKED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME.
