Uniform and PE Kit
At Whitegrove we have a simple but smart school uniform. As members of the school community, we want our children to wear their uniform with pride, so tidy and correct.
Please ensure that ALL items are named (first and last names), including lunchboxes (named on the outside please), bottles, scarves, hats, gloves, socks etc.
Most of our school uniform is available in local shops and supermarkets. Good quality 2nd hand uniform is also available through our WPFA’s 2nd hand uniform Facebook group.
Our Whitegrove-branded school jumper, school cardigan and house PE T-shirt (for KS1/KS2 and EYFS from the summer term) are only available new from Price & Buckland. They offer a simple and secure online service - please visit price-buckland.co.uk/whitegrove-primary-school-bracknell to create an account and place your order.
Price & Buckland can also supply other Whitegrove-branded items (bags, hats, caps and a mid-layer top for PE) plus unbranded dresses, skirts, trousers, shirts and more.
Delivery is:
- Free to school
- Free to home for orders of £65* and above
- £4.50* to home for orders below £65*.
For deliveries to school: please make sure we have an up-to-date mobile number so we can text you when your order is ready to collect from our office.
For uniform orders for the new academic year in September: please place your order by 1st August and, if you choose delivery to school, please be ready to collect on 3rd September (to avoid the busy few days at the start of term).
*As at May 2025, the free delivery threshold is £65 and the home delivery fee for orders below this is £4.50 (subject to change so please check their website).
Price & Buckland's website for Whitegrove Primary School
Price & Buckland launched a new page for Whitegrove orders in early 2025:
price-buckland.co.uk/whitegrove-primary-school-bracknell
If you have ordered from them before, you will need to go to the Account section of their website and re-set your password (it can be the same as the one you already use). You will then be able to see your previous orders and manage your account.
Some of the benefits of the new website include easy ordering for multiple schools, more payment options (Klarna, Apply Pay and Google Pay) and being prompted about how close the order is to the free delivery threshold (£65 as at May 2025 but this is subject to change so please check their website).
Colder weather
During colder weather, pupils may wear base layers to keep warm, provided they are not visible so completely covered by the school uniform (e.g. leggings under long trousers, long-sleeved tops under a school jumper/cardigan). They are not to be worn beneath shorts or short-sleeved tops.
Base layers must also be removed for all PE lessons - instead, a PE long-sleeved top (no hoods please) and tracksuit bottoms may be worn during outdoor PE to keep warm.
Some of our children like to wear modesty shorts under dresses and skirts (for when they are doing handstands!) and, again, they must not be visible below the hemline.
Long hair tied back
In the interest of hygiene, long hair must be tied back AT ALL TIMES, not just for PE.
Hair accessories (e.g. hairbands) are to be PLAIN, SMALL and suited to our uniform.
Minimal jewellery and watches
In the interest of safety, jewellery must be minimal such as one pair of plain stud earrings and a basic watch (not a smart watch) without recording capabilities (eg no photos, video or sound).
Jewellery and watches must be removed before PE (we cannot cover with plasters) so children need to be able to remove and insert earrings themselves or, for younger children, leave earrings at home on PE days.
Non-uniform birthdays
Celebrating birthdays with a non-uniform day is continuing to be popular with our children and families alike (instead of class treats owing to cost, allergies and dietary requirements of classmates) so we are continuing to say "no birthday sweets please" and enjoy your birthday in your chosen outfit (shoes still need to be without heels please).
Checklists
The warm, long-sleeved top in the PE kit could be a sweatshirt or fleece (no hoods please) instead of the Whitegrove-branded mid-layer.
