We believe that wearing our school uniform encourages a sense of belonging and plays an important part of our whole school ethos.

We want all children to feel proud to wear our Banks Road uniform.

We expect all children to wear a Banks Road school jumper or cardigan, both of which are branded with our school logo.  These items can be purchased on the ‘School Shop’, which can be accessed via the school’s website: https://shops.parentapps.co.uk/banksroad/

All other items of our school uniform, including black school shoes, grey trousers/ shorts/ skirts/ pinafores and white shirts can be purchased from any high street store or supermarket.

We also expect all children to wear school uniform PE kit (including suitable trainers) on the day they have their PE lesson. Children can wear either a Banks Road school jog-suit, which is branded with our school logo, or shorts and t-shirt for PE.

We also offer optional Banks Road book bags, school ties and baseball caps, all of which can be purchased on the ‘School Shop’, which can be accessed via the school’s website: https://shops.parentapps.co.uk/banksroad/

Parents/ carers of new-starting children can order school uniform ahead of their child’s start date. They will be given an order form by a member of the school office team as part of their child’s admission.
