Children should be dressed in full school uniform each day, and full school P.E. kit on P.E days.

Marsh Green School uniform consists of:

✓ Grey or Tartan skirt, pinafore dress or trousers.
✓ Yellow polo shirt with short sleeves.
✓ Green sweatshirt or cardigan.
✓ Grey tights or grey, black or white socks.
✓ Grey/Black socks for boys.
✓ Black shoes.
✓ Green Gingham dress, or grey shorts may be worn in the summer term.
✓ Year 4 Swimming Kit – Towel, 1 piece swimming costume, swim shorts or trunks.
✓ P.E - Marsh Green hoodie, Marsh Green, Green t-shirt, black/green shorts with
black pumps/trainers.
✓ Alternative P.E. Kit –
Plain black hoody, black joggers/leggings/shorts and plain white t-shirt.

The PE Kit was selected not only to aid the ‘length’ of PE sessions, but to diminish the wearing of expensive ‘branded’ items and make things easier for our families. Children should not wear hotpants/cycling shorts/crop tops.

All items, except the uniform with school logo, may be purchased from any shop or major supermarket. Sweatshirts, hoodies, shorts and polo shirts can only be purchased from AC Sports in Pemberton or Slaters in Wigan.

We do not consider that jewellery is suitable school wear. Children may wear a small wristwatch; we have noticed a number of children wearing smart watches in school. Not only are these very expensive and we would not want them to get damaged, but they are also classed as a mobile device which are not allowed in our classrooms.

Children with pierced ears may wear studs, but all other jewellery is not allowed on safety grounds. If a child attends school with anything apart from a stud earring, then the child will be asked to remove them, if this isn’t possible, an adult will help to remove. We recommend that earrings be left at home on P.E days to prevent injury.

Hair should be neat and tidy in appearance. Extreme hairstyles, cuts or colours are not allowed. Only natural hair colours are acceptable. Hair longer than shoulder length must be kept tied up at all times. Hair accessories such as bobbles, slides and hair bands should be in line with Marsh Green School colours.

Make-up is not appropriate for primary school children and should be removed before attending school. This includes fake tan and nail varnish. Any children found to be  wearing make-up will be asked to remove it in school.

If your child arrives to school in incorrect uniform, including PE.days, then a phone call home will be made for an adult to bring the correct clothing/shoes as soon as possible that day. If this isn’t possible and the uniform isn’t corrected the following day, then school will provide spare items for that day. Children will be asked change back into their own clothes before leaving for home at 3:15pm.

If families need support, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher or a member of the pastoral team. Please support us in ensuring that your child attends school in the correct uniform as stated above. This will help us to raise our standards, increase a sense of belonging, and school pride and community spirit.

Thank you for your continued support, Mrs Heaton and Mrs Whittle Deputy Head Teachers
