Uniform
Blue Coat CEVA Primary School pupils are asked to wear their school uniform with pride. Our uniform shows that we are united as a school family, despite our respectful differences.
We have high expectations of our pupils and this extends to their school uniform and appearance whilst in school. As part of the school’s drive for ‘future readiness’ of our pupils, we believe that adhesion to these high standards will best prepare our children for their next stage in education at secondary school and beyond.

Outerwear Guidance
The school’s commitment to high quality play results in year round access to areas such as the school field, mud kitchen, play beach etc. We therefore ask that pupils wear appropriate and practical outerwear. In most cases, this would equate to relatively inexpensive, warm (during winter months), waterproof, easily washable, hooded coats that are resilient in material and construction to endure the elements and day-to-day nature of creative play. Leather and denim outerwear are not permitted.
P.E. Kit
We require that our pupils change for PE activities. They need an appropriately labelled PE kit consisting of the following:
For hall sports & summer athletics:
- white plain tee
- black/blue shorts
- socks (outdoors)
- trainers/daps
For outdoor games in cold weather:
- Plain white t-shirt
- Plain navy or black tracksuit (or sweater and jogging bottoms)
- socks
- trainers
For swimming lessons, swimwear as advised by the School.
