School Uniform

At Alexandra Junior School the children are encouraged to wear uniform, as we believe it helps to develop a sense of pride in belonging to Alexandra Junior School.

Girls:
  • Either a grey skirt or tunic or grey smart trousers
  • A white blouse or white polo tee shirt
  • A red cardigan or jumper (with logo or without)
  • Lace, buckle or sensible slip on black shoes (flat not high heeled)
  • White socks or red/grey/black tights

Optional summer uniform:

  • Red/white dress (checked or striped)
Boys:
  • Grey smart trousers
  • White shirt or white polo tee shirt
  • A red jumper (with logo or without)
  • Black lace or sensible slip on shoes
Optional summer uniform:
  • Grey smart shorts

In the interests of safety children should not wear shoes with high heels and if boots are worn in wet weather they should always bring a change of footwear.

School uniform is available to purchase from Wearabouts Schoolwear, a local shop, based on Sydenham Road (a five minute walk away from the school).  Wearabouts also provide an online service which can be accessed through their website:
 
As well as selling specific AJS uniform (see below) the shop also stock general schoolwear such as skirts, pinafore dresses, trousers, shorts and PE items etc.
 
  • Logo embroidered school jumpers and cardigans. 
  • Logo embroidered school polo shirts. 
  • Logo red PE t-shirts
  • Logo embroidered school book bags

    Please note you are not obliged to buy these items from Wearabouts as a variety of other shops/supermarkets also sell general uniform/school clothing.  Alternatively, pre-loved uniform is available to buy from Sense Charity Shop, 104 High Street, Penge (next to the post office).

    PE Clothing

    Children have PE lessons twice a week. At the beginning of each school year you will be notified which days your child is due to have a PE lesson. On PE days we ask that children wear their PE kit to school. It is important that they have the following items:
  • Black PE sports shorts or black jogging bottoms
  • Plimsolls or trainers (football boots are only needed for after school clubs and matches)
  • Logo embroidered red t-shirt / plain red t-shirt

     
  • Other general rules
  • Jewellery should not be worn to school as it can be dangerous during playtimes or PE - if a child's ear has been  pierced then very small studs may be worn. No other form of body piercing adornments will be allowed in the interests of health and safety. 
  • Shoulder length or longer hair must be tied back throughout the day.
  • Nail varnish is not permitted

    PLEASE REMEMBER ALL UNIFORM AND PE KIT SHOULD BE CLEARLY NAMED WITH AN INDELIBLE MARKER OR NAME TAG
