School Uniform
The children of Meadowbank are proud to wear their school uniform. Their uniform helps to give them an identity and a pride about our school and avoids individual comparisons between children regarding the way they dress. We feel that wearing the uniform is important and we rely on support from families to encourage their child to be proud of their appearance. Uniform can be bought online from Monkhouse uniform suppliers at http://www.monkhouse.com/ if you wish your child to wear a uniform with Meadowbank’s school logo on, however, uniform that is purchased from other retailers without our logo on is acceptable. Unfortunately, we do not hold any stock in school.

- Black sturdy shoes (no trainers, boots or ballerina shoes)
- Royal blue sweatshirt, jumper or cardigan. Sweatshirts must not have hoods.

P.E. Kit (to be worn for all PE lessons and each sports club)
All children should have their kit in school ready for each lesson and for health and safety reasons they must change for each lesson. Our P.E. kit comprises:
- Royal blue shorts
- White t-shirt (not vest top or crop top)
- Trainers (children do not need plimsolls)
- Black or grey jogging bottoms for outdoor PE between November and February (optional
