Uniform Information
'Look Smart, Think Smart'
At Aston Clinton, we pride ourselves on our ‘Look Smart, Think Smart’ philosophy and ask parents to support us in instilling this ethos in the children.
Here is a list of the uniform and kit your child will need:
- white blouse or shirt (for years 3-6)
- white polo shirt (Reception and Year 2 only)
- grey skirt or pinafore dress, school trousers or shorts
- royal blue cardigan or v-neck jumper with the school badge
- school tie
- summer dresses of blue quarter-inch check gingham on white
- grey or white socks
- grey tights
- black shoes. No boots or trainers
- Blue, white or black hair accessories

Jewellery, hair and make up
Jewellery is not permitted in school as it is unnecessary and can injure children when they are at play. Children may wear a watch and simple stud earrings if they wish. However, all jewellery must be removed for PE lessons. Newly pierced ears should be taped for PE lessons until they can be removed. It will be the child's responsibility to store their jewellery safely, if they have a PE lesson.
Hair should be neat and tidy and in a style that does not draw undue attention to the child. It should not be coloured and there should be no shaved patterns or areas cut into the hair. Hair accessories should be small and unobtrusive. We request that any child with long hair has it tied up. This is to reduce the spread of head lice, but also so children can see what they are doing in lessons. In P.E. it is a health and safety issue if hair falls across the face - it restricts visibility on equipment or when catching.
There is flexibility on items of clothing/headwear/jewellery as part of religious observance. We also recognise that some young people with SEND require flexibility in the uniform as a necessary reasonable adjustment to access the school environment. If there are justifiable reasons, such as these (or any others) why a parent/carer would wish their child to wear clothes that differ from the school uniform, the school will look sympathetically at such requests and work alongside parents to ensure that suitable arrangements can be accommodated.
Pre-Loved Uniform
As a school, we value a sustainable approach to school wear and therefore offer an extensive collection of pre-loved uniform organised and managed by ACSA and 2nd hand uniform which is held in the school office.
Equities Duties
We recognise that sometimes children will require adjustments to our uniform requirements. In these instances we ask that you discuss this the Headteacher or the school's SENCo.
