A smart uniform is really important to us in school as it helps foster a sense of belonging and equality. Our children like to feel smart and have a sense of belonging. We wear our uniform with pride and ensure that fairness runs through the school.
This year we also local suppliers such as Impressions in Leyland, who could assist in these circumstances to get the uniform items you need. They can be contacted on 01772 20431431 or by visiting the Leyland Lane store. In addition, uniform items can be also be purchased from Monkhouse through the link here - https://www.monkhouse.com/c/4732/Northbrook-Academy
A support guide for parents can also be accessed here.

All clothing should be clearly labelled with the child’s name. This is especially important as uniform items look similar and can easily be confused for another child’s. It is very hard to re-unite lost property with its owner. Please remember that the school cannot accept responsibility for any lost items.
PE Kit Requirements:
At the start of each half term, children should bring their PE kits to school and leave them on their pegs. If you want your child to bring their PE kit home on a more regular basis to be washed, please do so but ensure it is sent back into school for their PE days. PE kits will be used on PE days only, and children will change into and out of their kits at school. In Year 5 and 6, children will get changed in single gender rooms.
PE kits will be sent home at the end of each half term. If they become dirty during a PE lesson, they may be taken home earlier to be washed and then returned to school.

Appearance Guidelines:
|
Make-up, Jewellery &
other items
|
- In the interest of health and safety and to avoid loss, no jewellery should be worn to school. The only exceptions might be for medi-alert items and some religious artefacts.
- We would prefer children not to wear earrings, but if they do they must be no more than one stud (not hoops or hooks) in each ear lobe.
- Children are not allowed to wear any jewellery during PE/Forest School/Swimming lessons for Health and Safety reasons. Children must either not wear earrings on these days or be able to remove their earrings themselves, prior to the activity.
- Members of staff will not remove studs from a child’s ear.
- Children may wear watches in school but they should be inexpensive and not ‘gimmicky’ or a 'smart' watch. School is unable to accept responsibility for loss or damage.
- Nail polish, make up and temporary tattoos are not acceptable as part of the school uniform.
- Sunglasses are not allowed to be worn by pupils at school unless there is a medical need to do so.
- Children are not allowed to wear headwear during class time or inside school buildings, except for religious or medical reasons.

Hairstyles
|
- Children’s hairstyles should not be extreme and must be appropriate for school. Children with hair longer than shoulder length must have their hair tied back with a suitable hair accessory, to not restrict vision, so that they can safely enjoy all activities at school.
- Hair accessories should be discreet and in line with the colours of our school uniform. Large bows and novelty hair accessories must not be worn.

Please help us to keep our children smart by ensuring that they attend in the correct uniform and PE kit and follow the appearance guidelines above. Decisions regarding the suitability of the children's uniform and appearance lie with the Headteacher.
