Prep School Uniform Guide2019 - 2020

Prep School Uniform Guide 2019/20 | 3

At St Helen’s we take great pride in the smart, coherent and bespoke uniform and PE Kit the girls wear. All regulation items are supplied by Pullens, our official uniform supplier. Items can be fitted and purchased in store or ordered online at www.uniform4kids.com. During term time, this includes an option for delivery to the School for collection.

Regulation items are also available at OBNO (Outgrown But Not Outworn) uniform sales, run by the St Helen’s PTA. The sale dates are listed in the School calendar. This stock of uniform is kindly donated by parents when it has been outgrown. The sale of items generates funds for the PTA who support the School with valuable ‘extras’.

Personal Appearance

Jewellery and Religious Symbols

Discreet religious symbols are permitted.

From Year 3

Traditional watches (non-bluetooth/internet) only may be worn with school uniform. If earrings have to be worn because of pierced ears, only small stud earrings in either gold or silver are permitted, one in each ear lobe.

Early Years

No items of jewellery or wrist watches are to be worn. Should your daughter wear earrings please ensure they are removed prior to coming to school if she has PE (including Dance, Swimming and Gym) or Ballet that day.

It is essential for Health & Safety reasons that all watches, stud earrings and religious symbols are removed for PE lessons, including Dance, Gym and Swimming, as well as for Ballet. Your daughter should hand them to the relevant member of PE staff before the start of the lesson.

No responsibility can be taken for the loss of any of these items.

Hair

Hair which is longer than chin length should be tied back. Hair fastenings, bands and ribbons may be dark green or black. Only soft Alice hair bands are allowed.

Nail polish

The wearing of nail polish and make-up is not permitted in School.

Appropriate dress

All girls should dress appropriately for School and therefore hem lengths skirts should be no more than 10cm above the knee.

Children wear shoes with their uniform and supportive trainers, not fashion footwear, for PE.

No flashing shoes or patent leather shoes are allowed.

Naming Personal Belongings All clothing and personal items must be clearly named e.g. inside a collar, to make it easier for girls to identify their own clothing and that of others. If you have purchased clothing from OBNO, please ensure your daughter’s name is clearly labelled. There are many suppliers of personalised labels online.

All supply sew-on or iron-on labels at reasonable prices: www.uniform4kids.com

Early Years

Please encourage your child to look for her own name on items of clothing when she is dressing herself.
