Uniform
We at Belle Vue see school uniform as something really important in:
- promoting the ethos of a school,
- providing a sense of belonging and identity,
- setting an appropriate tone for education.
After listening to parents and carers we decided to alter the supplier in favour of one that brought the cost of uniform down and make it clear what our expectations are for our pupils. We hope that the list of commonly asked questions will provide further clarity.
Commonly asked questions
What logoed items do you have?
We only have two pieces of clothing that are logoed: the sweatshirt/cardigan and the PE t-shirt.
Do children have to wear logoed items?
No, children do not have to wear items with the school logo on. We feel that it is important for families to choose whether they have logoed items such as a sweatshirt or PE t-shirt. Children will not be reprimanded if they don't have a logoed items. Parents are able to choose a generic sweatshirt, jumper, etc from a supermarket as long as it is the same colour, i.e. red.
Do my children need a different sports kit for different sports?
No. There is one sports kit, which doesn't have to be logoed. Children are asked to wear a white t-shirt with red shorts for normal PE lessons. The school will provide a sports kit when children compete in different tournaments.
I have lots of uniform from older siblings, can my youngest still wear the old uniform?
Yes. We would rather you wear old but good condition uniform than throw it away. When your child grows out of it you can buy the new uniform.
Which supplier do you use and how do we order?
We have recently changed our uniform supplier to "Totally Uniform" When undertaking this review, we focused on the quality and price point of the uniform, but also on the convenience and service. Totally Uniform is based in Kingswinford which will enable you to buy in person. Children can try clothes on in store and you will be able to purchase items there and then! If ordering online, you can select to collect from store for FREE or Home Delivery is charged at £5.95 (Free over £50). Totally Uniform have a free 30 day returns policy, regardless of the delivery.
Since 1989, Totally Uniform has sat in the heart of the Community in Kingswinford for over 35 years supplying quality school uniform at affordable prices to over 50+ schools.
When can my child wear the summer uniform?
Children can wear the summer uniform after the Easter holidays.

Children in nursery will be very active, explore and learn through discovery - often this means that they will get messy. Children in nursery can wear suitable clothes, not necessarily full school uniform. We do ask that they wear a sweatshirt. |
