From the start of the next academic year in September 2026, both the Infant and Junior schools will share the same uniform.

Uniform Update....

The new logo will soon be available on uniform clothing; however, there is no expectation for families to replace existing uniform. Children may continue wearing items with the current logo for as long as they wish. Plain navy jumpers, cardigans and polo shirts remain perfectly acceptable too.

We will continue with navy blue as our core colour across both schools, with a few updates. From September 2026, all children will wear navy uniform, helping to reduce costs for families. In addition, pupils in both schools will come to school in their PE kits twice a week.

School uniform:

• Grey or black skirt/trousers (not jeans/denim)
• Navy sweatshirt or cardigan
• White polo shirt, shirt or blouse
• Blue & white gingham dress or grey dress (Summer)

• Black shoes, boots or trainers (Velcro or zips preferred unless laces can be tied independently). Trainers need to be all plain black if children choose to wear these on school uniform days.

P.E. kit:

• Plain black joggers, leggings or shorts (need to be a reasonable length not ‘hot pant’ style)
• Navy PE t-shirt (provided by school for this year only for all current EYFS to Year 5 pupils)
• Navy hoodie
• Trainers

Expectations:

• All items must be clearly labelled
• No jewellery, except stud earrings
• Earrings must be removed or covered for PE
• No makeup, nail polish, acrylic nails or temporary tattoos
• Skirts and shorts must be an appropriate length

Branded uniform items (including sweatshirts, cardigans, hoodies, polo shirts, PE t-shirts, fleeces and book bags) can be purchased online via Uniform Direct https://www.uniform-direct.com/acatalog/Bottesford-Infant-and-Junior-School.html or from their Gainsborough store, or from Shah’s uniform shop https://www.shahsuniform.co.uk/ in Scunthorpe. 

Pre-Loved Uniform

We have purchased the remaining stock of the old uniform, which will be available to buy at a reduced cost of £2 per item while supplies last. Please visit the school office to purchase old stock.

We also still have a large selection of second hand excellent quality uniform available from our office for a small donation (trousers, skirts, t-shirts, cardigans, plimsolls, shoes and jumpers). Why not call in and see what we have in stock and pick up a bargain.
