Uniform information

West Jesmond Primary Uniform Policy 
 
The West Jesmond Primary uniform colours are navy blue and gold.
 
For the 2022-23 academic year and going forward, after consultation with a group of parents and Governors and  following the Department for Education request for schools to review their uniform policy, we are reverting back to having sweatshirt-style navy jumpers and cardigans instead of the current V-neck design. Any child with the current V-neck will be able to continue to wear them for the 2022-23 academic year while we transition to the sweatshirt style jumper.
 
Our uniform is:
 

General Uniform (3 days a week)

  •        Navy blue sweatshirt or cardigan with or without the logo
  •        Yellow or navy blue polo shirt with or without the school logo
  •        Navy blue trousers, skirts or shorts
  •        Blue or  yellow check-patterned dress
  •        Plain black footwear
  •        Navy or black religious head wear

Coats and fleeces are also available from our supplier at parents own discretion. Fleeces should only be worn as outside clothing.

 PE Kit on PE Days (2 days a week)

  •        Navy blue jogging bottom or shorts
  •        School branded blue/white/orange PE top or own plain navy blue t-shirt

 Additionally:
