Uniform

We expect all pupils at Bentfield to wear the appropriate school uniform. This is based on the belief that a uniform:

• is inkeeping with a purposeful learning ethos
• promotes a sense of pride in the school
• helps pupils develop a feeling of belonging
• is practical and distinctive
• identifies the children with the school
• is not distracting in class (as fashion clothing might be)
• makes children feel more equal to one another in terms of appearance
• reflects a sense of community

Pupils in classes from Reception age to Year 6 wear the following:

• Red sweat shirt or cardigan
• White polo t-shirt
• Black or grey school trousers or skirt
• Black sensible shoes (these are to be plain without coloured logos; black trainers are acceptable)
• In summer girls may wear a red gingham dress and boys grey shorts
• In addition to these items we also request that pupils have a red bookbag

The uniform for P.E. is as follows:

• White or red polo t-shirt or t-shirt
• Black shorts (and black tracksuit bottoms for cold weather
• Plimsolls or trainers (with non-marking soles)
• In addition to these items will also request that pupils have a P.E. bag

All uniform is available with the school logo. Although it is not a requirement it is preferable, as we believe it is more inkeeping with the beliefs listed above. Please ensure that all uniform is clearly labelled with your child's name. This is especially important, as uniform items look similar and can easily be confused for another child's. The school cannot accept responsibility for any lost items.

All of our uniform can be ordered from Fosters in Bishops Stortford using the following link:
