Uniform

We believe that school uniform helps to promote a sense of belonging to our school community.  It also ensures that pupils are wearing sensible clothes for their learning activities.

We need the support of parents and carers to ensure that our school uniform policy is followed.We would ask that you take particular note of our guidance for footwear and jewellery.

Items with the school logo can be bought from our Marks and Spencer’s online shop or from Havering Schoolwear, Hornchurch Road. Pre-owned schoolwear is also available via the PFA uniform@uspfa.co.uk

Additionally, if you require name labels, these can be purchased from Stikins Name Labels.

Hairstyles

Long hair should be tied back at all times.  This is so that this does not detract from children's learning, and is out of the way during PE lessons.  Under no circumstances are extreme hairstyles permitted.  We have high standards of presentation, and this includes hairstyles.

School Bags

Years 3 & 4  should use UJS book bags only. Years 5 and 6 may use a UJS book bag or a UJS rucksack.

PE Kit

·         Yellow polo shirt or plain yellow t-shirt (optional with school logo);

·         Navy blue PE shorts (not cycling shorts)

·         Black plimsolls or trainers

·         Navy blue tracksuit (optional jumper with school logo)

We also ask parents / carers to provide an old shirt or PVC apron for Art lessons.

Jewellery

Pupils are not permitted to wear any jewellery items due to the potential safety risk.  The only exception to our no jewellery rule is a sensible watch, but this must be removed for PE.

School Caps

School caps are now available to purchase from our uniform providers.  These are not a compulsory part of our uniform, however, where possible, we would like children to wear these when attending school trips to help identify them as a member of Upminster Junior School.

Water Bottles

A lightweight plastic bottle should be brought in each day filled with plain water only.
