We believe that uniform is very important in making children feel part of Mowden schools, we also follow the principles of poverty proofing. Our uniform is practical, enhances the tone and atmosphere, and helps maintain pupil pride in Mowden Schools.
Please help us and your child by using name labels for your child’s uniform and possessions.
Please order from My Nametags to help raise money for The Friends of Mowden Schools and to label all your children’s clothes and belongings. To enable the Friends of Mowden Schools to receive any fundraising money please use the School ID of 19205 on any orders.
We ask that children wear the following uniform items:
- Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without a Mowden logo)
- White or royal blue polo shirt (with or without a Mowden logo)
- Plain grey trousers, short trousers, skirt or pinafore
- Gingham checked dress (blue and white) optional for summer
- Black sensible school shoes or trainers with no visible brand logo
For PE days, we ask that children come to school wearing:
- Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without a Mowden logo)
- White or royal blue polo or round neck shirt (with or without a Mowden logo)
- Black or navy shorts (not hot pants), leggings or joggers
- Black trainers with no visible brand logo
This is to enable PE and outdoor learning without the added movement associated with changing. Trainers will be used on the field and may well get muddy, we ask that children bring in clean footwear too. Pupils should bring in extra layers (e.g. sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms) for outdoor lessons during colder weather. Plain colours are preferable without visible brand logos. We recommend that PE clothing is clearly labelled with your child’s name.
Our school offices have a selection of good quality second hand uniform.
