Silver End Primary Academy is part of Inspires Multi Academy Trust along with four other schools. Each school has its own uniform, clearly outlined on the school's website. It is the expectation of all schools to ensure all pupils wear the correct uniform, including PE kit for PE and games lessons. It is the uniform of a school that identifies it as a unique and individual community and it should be worn with pride.

This is to reinforce the school's commitment to this our own unique identity.

Jewellery, Hair Ornaments, Make-Up and Nail Varnish

For health and safety reasons we do not allow children to wear jewellery.  The exceptions to this rule are earring studs in pierced ears (lobes only) and small objects of religious significance.  Children are required to remove any items during PE lessons to prevent them from causing injury.  Please note:  Teachers are not permitted to remove earrings.  Hair bands, ribbons/ bows or ‘scrunchies’ should be in school colours (maroon, black, white, or grey) and of a reasonable size.  Hair bands should not have large flowers attached.  Make-up and nail varnish should not be worn to school unless for an out of school hours function, for example a school disco.  Extreme hairstyles are not appropriate for school.  The use of styling products should be kept to a minimum and children should not have decorative patterns cut into their hair, including shaved partings, or have hair coloured. Class teachers will message parents on Class dojo to ask for the correct uniform to be in school the following days. If there are any issues with uniform, please Dojo the class teacher.
