School Uniform

All children wear uniform at Pickhurst Academy. We believe uniform looks smart, is practical and encourages a sense of belonging. The school is proud of the excellent standard of appearance of the children and the uniform is kept as simple and practical as possible.

It is preferable to have jumpers and cardigans that have the school logo, but this is not compulsory. Unbranded uniform can be purchased from many stores and supermarkets. Both Price & Buckland, our online uniform suppliers, and Graduates our shop suppliers in Orpington, have a full range of our school uniform with logos.

The PTA also have second hand uniform available for purchase or for a monetary donation.

Please note that school ties can only be purchased from the school office.

Please ensure all uniform and coats are named.

The school uniform colours are green and grey and consists of the following:

• Black shorts
• Children should work in bare feet or plimsolls for indoor P.E. (no other footwear)
• Trainers will be required for all outdoor games lessons

• Children cannot be excused from P.E. or games lessons unless they have a note from home or from the P.E. teacher. This note must be given to the class teacher.

Valuables       

We ask parents/carers’ co-operation in ensuring that a child’s personal belongings brought to school are kept to a minimum.  Watches are worn at a child’s own risk.  Money for specific purposes should be separated, labelled with the child’s name and class, sealed in an envelope and handed to the class teacher or school office as soon as possible.

Pupils in Years 3-5 are not permitted to bring mobile telephones or electronic devices to school.  Pupils in Year 6 who walk to school alone are permitted to bring a mobile telephone to school but this must be handed to the relevant staff member in Year 6, where they will locked away safely during the day.

All articles of clothing should be named and checked occasionally to see that names are still visible.

Jewellery 

Pendant/hoop earrings, large stud earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings should not be worn at any time in school.  Watches may cause injury and should not be worn during any Physical Education lesson.

As we head into the busy summer season, we’re sharing a helpful leaflet, see below that you can use to inform parents about uniform ordering deadlines for September 2025. The flyer includes details about sizing, garment care and the recommended order cut-off date to ensure timely delivery before the start of the new academic year.
