Uniform

What a child wears to school reflects their attitude to learning, as well as the school's ethos and shared positive values. We have a very simple uniform our pupils are expected to wear.

Coats, hoodies, jumpers and cardigans featuring the Bosbury School logo are available to purchase either from the Clubsport website, or in the Hereford Clubsport store at 4 Bewell Street, HR4 0BH. Please note that, as of April 2025, Clubsport in Ledbury will no longer sell Bosbury School branded uniform.

Don't forget that standard plain navy and white uniform without logos, perfectly acceptable as part of our school uniform, can be purchased from many different shops to allow additional flexibility. Friends of Bosbury School (FOBS) also have regular uniform sales as well as a spare uniform shed on the school site.

PLEASE CLEARLY LABEL ANY AND ALL ITEMS OF SCHOOL CLOTHING WITH YOUR CHILD'S FULL NAME! IT HELPS US NO END WHEN REUNITING PUPILS WITH THEIR CLOTHING! A new lost property rail is now available just outside the Key Stage 1 playground gate.

In 2024 we became a trainer school, meaning that black or grey trainers may be worn throughout the school day in place of more traditional school shoes. Having a spare set of trainers available in school for the mile run during the winter months when the field may be wet and muddy is recommended however.

School uniform includes clothing required for Physical Education (PE). We have a sensitive, flexible approach to this issue. There is some evidence to suggest that participation and enjoyment of sport is enhanced when pupils feel comfortable about their PE uniform. Our PE uniform has been chosen because it is practical, comfortable and appropriate to the activity involved.

As pupils move into Key Stage 2, it may be necessary to also have a tracksuit and stronger outdoor type trainers suitable for football, netball and tag rugby. 

The only jewellery generally permitted in school are watches and one stud in each ear. Jewellery, clothing or cosmetics worn for cultural reasons require approval from the Headteacher before being permitted. Please note that staff are not allowed to remove or look after jewellery for children. The safest place for such valuables is always at home. 

Long hair should be tied back during PE lessons and preferably during practical art lessons. Our judgements about hair styles do not discriminate against any pupil by virtue of their protected characteristics.
