The Department for Education “strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can play a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone.” At Crossdale, we believe that our school uniform helps children develop an understanding of community and consistency of expectations.
Our school uniform consists of the following required items:
- burgundy sweatshirt or cardigan*
- zipped fleeces are available for cold weather*
- grey trousers and shorts
- grey skirt or pinafore
- white shirt or white/burgundy polo shirt*
- summer dress (burgundy or red)
- black shoes (no trainers). Shoes should have no large and obvious branding on them
- plain grey, white, burgundy or black socks or tights
Children should come to school wearing the correct PE kit on their PE days.
PE Kit: 2026 / 2027
Our PE kit is:
• a white or burgundy round-neck PE t-shirt, either plain or with the Crossdale logo*

Jewellery
No jewellery is permitted for PE. Should your child have studs in their ears that they cannot take out, they will need to be covered with micropore tape.
Watches (excluding smart watches) are allowed, religious jewellery and stud earrings only.
Please discourage your child from bringing any valuable jewellery/watches to school.
