Uniform Guidelines for St Peter's CE Primary Academy

From September 2026, new government rules limit primary schools to no more than three compulsory branded items across both school uniform and PE kit. A branded item includes anything displaying the school’s name or logo, as well as items with distinctive features that can only be purchased from a specific supplier. Schools may continue to offer additional branded items as optional choices, but families must be permitted to purchase suitable unbranded alternatives. These changes are intended to reduce costs and ensure that school uniform remains affordable for all families.

Items of school uniform with the school logo can be purchased locally from:

Skoolkit

20 Endless St

Salisbury

Wilts., SP1 1DP

Generic items such as skirts or trousers can be purchased from Skoolkit or from elsewhere. We appreciate the cost implications of school uniform and generic grey polo shirts are acceptable. Likewise, purple jumpers, cardigans and PE t-shirts without the school logo can be worn if required.

Uniform

• Grey skirt / trousers / shorts (culottes and pinafore dresses are also acceptable)
• White shirt and tie (KS2) or classic light-grey polo shirt (KS1 and EYFS)
• Purple gingham checked or striped dress or playsuit
• Purple school jumper or cardigan
• School shoes (black with no logos or lights)
• Plain socks

PE Kit:

• Trainers for outside
• Black shorts
• Purple t-shirt with or without logo
• Plain navy blue or black joggers for outside cold weather
• Plain navy blue, purple or black sweatshirt for outside cold weather. The school jumper/cardigan is perfect for this.

Further Guidance:

• Sunhats are essential for the summer term (protecting your child from the harmful effects of the sun is a priority here). All children will be provided with a hat matching their house colour and are welcome to use this or bring in their own. Sun cream is to be administered by parents before school please, when required.
• All items of clothing, and other belongings brought into school, must be clearly named so that in the event of them being mislaid they can be returned to the child.
