Dear Parents/Carers,

We are excited to launch our new logo onto our uniform in September 2026.

Please be aware that MyClothing.com and ALR embroidery who supply our embroidered uniform will cease selling our current uniform with the old logo on 31st May 2026. Our new uniform will be available from MyClothing and ALR embroidery as of 1st June 2026, as of this date you will be able to buy uniform with our new logo from them ready for the new educational year.

Please note if you do not want your child to wear uniform with the logo on this is not required and they can continue wearing plain clothing according to our uniform policy.

Also due to the change in school logo we are using a hybrid model as of September 2026, where children can still wear uniform with the old logo on if this is what they have – however uniform with the old logo on will no longer be available to buy from the above providers.

If you have any questions, please visit the school office where we will be happy to help you.

Kind Regards

The School Office

Children at Northwood Primary School are expected to wear school uniform as it promotes equality while also creating a sense of unity and belonging.

Uniform 

Our uniform consists of the following:

  • white shirt/polo shirt
  • bottle green jumper
  • or bottle green cardigan
  • grey/black trousers or skirt
  • or a green or yellow, gingham dress
  • black school shoes
  • School book bag

In line with our uniform policy, children may wear earrings to school if they wish. We do however prohibit hooped earrings due to health and safety. We also ask that children do not wear any other form of jewellery to school, including necklaces or bracelets.

Uniform does not have to be branded and can be purchased from large retailers such as Sainsburys & Asda. These stores have non-branded uniform which is suitable for Northwood Primary School.

Finally, within the school office, we offer a range of pre-loved uniform that can be purchased. For this, we ask for a contribution you see as suitable.

P.E. Kit

Children will have PE lessons at least once a week. On these days, children will be expected to attend school in their PE kit.

Our PE Kit consists of the following:

  • Plain white t-shirt
  • Plain black jumper/ tracksuit top
  • Black shorts/tracksuit bottoms
  • Plimsoles or trainers

For safety, we would prefer that children do not wear earrings for PE lessons. If children wear earrings to school, they should remove them or will need them covering with tape.
