Uniform Information
At Parkroyal we take a great amount of pride in our uniform and expect it to be worn correctly each day. We feel that it is smart and comfortable and that wearing school uniform promotes positive feelings of belonging to the school community, as well as helping to avoid daily arguments about what is fashionable and what is not fashionable to wear for school. It also makes life much easier for parents/carers.
The basic colours for the uniform are grey, white and red. Uniform items can be purchased from Finesse (Mill Street) and Classworx (King Edward Road) both in Macclesfield or alternatively you can purchase items (without logos) from many high street clothing stores and supermarkets.
In November 2021 the DfE published new statutory guidance with regards to the cost of school uniform, and they ‘strongly encourage schools to have a uniform as it can play a key role in’:
- promoting the ethos of a school
- providing a sense of belonging and identity
- setting an appropriate tone for education
In addition to the above, the statutory guidance outlines the provision of second hand uniforms and that this not only can support families but that by extending the life of garments, it is more sustainable. We do have some ‘Pre-loved’ school uniforms that will be available including a range of jumpers/cardigans, skirts and pinafores and white t-shirts available. We kindly ask that if you do have any school uniform that now doesn’t fit your child and is washed and in good condition, you donate it to school for us to add to our Pre-loved collection. Please contact the school office to enquire about Pre-loved uniform, either donating or requesting.
