School Uniform
We have a school uniform, which we expect all children to wear.
Brigg Primary School Uniform is red. You can purchase a logo version of the uniform from
Uniform Direct or visit their store in Gainsborough. Details are available on their website.
Alternatively, if you prefer, you can purchase non-logo uniform from most supermarket retailers.
General Uniform
Our general uniform consists of:
School logo/plain red jumper or cardigan
Red/white polo shirt or white shirt/blouse
Grey/black skirt, shorts or trousers (not leggings)
School dresses (red/white)
School pinafore (grey/black)
Parents are asked to send their children to school wearing sensible black shoes or plain black trainers (no logo).
Please note: Girls uniform needs to be suitable for outdoor play including being upside down, rolling, climbing or jumping. Cycling shorts worn under a school skirt/dress are a good addition.
What should my child wear for PE?
PE Uniform
From September 2026; as a school we will ask that children come in PE uniform on their PE days (These are shared on our social media platform and through the phase termly newsletter). We hope that this will reduce chances of garments getting lost and more importantly, enables us to extend our PE sessions as we waste less time getting changed. Clearly, the more time being active is more beneficial for children. However, I would like to stick to our general uniform values. So the PE uniform should consist of:
- Trainers
- White/red polo top/t-shirt
- Black leggings, joggers or shorts (without logos)
- School Sweatshirt, plain red OR plain black jumper/hoodie (without logos)
Children may bring in an additional top or shorts when it is hot, but these will be only changed into during the PE session.
*****UNIFORM DIRECT ARE STOCKING OUR NEW PE HOODIE*****
Hoodies are only to be worn as part of the school PE uniform.
What other items should my child bring to school?
Wellington Boots and Coat
The other addition to our school uniform is to request that all children have a pair of wellies that can be kept in school. We have previously communicated that we are adopting the OPAL principles of play in September where children will be able to use the school field all year round in order to maximise the quality of play in school whilst also providing greater opportunities to be active at school. Wellies can be sourced cheaply from shops such as ASDA, Sports Direct, Go Outdoors and Amazon. There are many offers available on Ebay too.
If any parents have any good quality children’s wellies that no longer fit, please send them in so that we can pass them on to other children.
Sizes
To support families with online sizing, we have a small selection of sample items, which will be available in school for pupils to view and try on before placing an order.
If you require a size that is not available on the Uniform Direct website, please email customerservices@uniform-direct.com and they will be happy to assist you.
We have included a size guide below for reference:
Example Size Guide (Chest Measurement)
| Chest Size (inches) | Approx. Age |
| 24″ | 3–4 years |
| 26″ | 5–6 years |
| 28″ | 7–8 years |
| 30″ | 9–10 years |
| 32″ | 11–12 years |
| 34″ | 13–14 years |
Please note that age ranges are a guide only, and we recommend using chest measurements where possible to ensure the best fit.
Coat
We ask that you provide a waterproof coat for your child as we intend on taking the children out in most weathers.
The jumpers, cardigans and red polo shirts with the school logo on are available to order through parentpay and collected from the school office. We also stock red book bags.
Please make sure ALL ITEMS are clearly labelled with the child’s name.
Water Bottle
You child can bring in a water bottle. This should not contain juice or fizzy drinks. The bottles can be refilled during the day. If your child does not have a water bottle or forgets to bring one, water will still be available. Each class has its own supply of cups if needed.
Hair
We ask that long hair is tied back for PE lessons. Hair accessories should be minimal please. Children wearing ‘fancy dress’ type headbands will be asked to remove them when in school. Extreme haircuts such as bright colours are not allowed.
Jewellery
The only pieces of jewellery permitted in school are a non-smart watch and stud ear-rings.
Earrings
Ideally, any children wearing earrings should be old enough to remove them for PE. If this is not possible then parents and carers should remove earrings on PE days. If ear-rings are not able to be removed the child will be asked to cover them with surgical tape provided by the parent/carer. If children have had ears recently pierced then parents must sign a disclaimer.
Make-up, nail varnish are not permitted.
What happens if my child loses their property?
Lost Property
We try to find and return to children any items of lost property. A display of lost property is available for inspection at the end of each term. There are also lost property boxes throughout school. Please make sure all items are clearly labelled with the child’s name.
To lose anything of value, either materially or emotionally, is distressing so we would emphasise that:
- Articles of value should not be brought to school.
- Money should not be brought into school.
- Compensation is not available from the L.A’s insurance provision.
