Uniform
We consider our school uniform to be a crucial part of the high expectations that we have for our school.
Your support is much appreciated and we would ask that all parents ensure that children come to school dressed appropriately. Most items of school uniform can be purchased from any supermarket or high street retailer.
Items that are specific to our school or with school logos can be purchased from our uniform supplier ‘Simmonds’ who have a shop at Newnham Court Shopping Village (Bearsted Road, Weavering, Maidstone ME14 5LH) or on-line using this link: https://simmonds-ltd.com/headcorn-primary-school/ .

PE Uniform
Children are to wear their PE Uniform to school on their allocated PE days along with their purple jumper, cardigan or fleece. As this is in place of wearing their usual school uniform, we expect children to be smartly dressed in the correct PE uniform items.
- School house colour T-shirt with school crest with black or navy shorts / skirt
- Trainers with white or black socks
- Black or navy track suit bottoms and sweatshirt for colder months
Additional Information...
- Wellies for use on the field during winter months
- For health and safety reasons PE skirts / shorts must be well fitted
- Earrings must not be worn during PE (Children should be able to remove/replace earrings themselves)
- Longer hair must be tied up during PE
- Hair accessories must be small, modest and in school colours
- Nail varnish and make up is not permitted
All clothing must be clearly marked with the pupil's full name.
Jewellery
Children are not allowed to wear jewellery to school, save for stud earrings. In addition, staff are not allowed to remove earrings for children, so they shouldn’t have their ears pierced until they are of an age when they can remove and replace the jewellery independently. Children are not allowed to participate in any PE activity whilst wearing any form of jewellery. Earrings must be removed, by the children, before any activities begin. If the children are not able to remove earrings, parents must do it for them, on the day that they have PE, before they come to school.
Swimming
The children will swim during the summer term. Children must wear one piece swimsuits or close fitting swim shorts and swimming hats. The pool filters operate whilst the children are in the water and it is possible that hair could be sucked into the filters. Consequently, those children who do not have hats will not be allowed to swim. Hats will be available to buy at the School Office.
Children with verrucas are required to wear verruca socks, otherwise they will not be allowed to swim.
The Governors of the school request the support of all parents in providing the appropriate uniform outlined.
Please see the School Policies Section under the Key Information tab for more information about Swimming Pool Procedures and Emergency Action Plan.
