'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) (FROM SEPTMEBER 2025 Years 5 & 6 only)
• white polo shirt (Reception and Year 2 only) (FROM SEPTEMBER 2025 Reception, Year 1 to Year 4)
• grey skirt or pinafore dress, school trousers or shorts
• royal blue cardigan or v-neck jumper with the school badge  
• school tie  (From September 2025 compulsory for Year 5&6, optional for R-4)
• summer dresses of blue quarter-inch check gingham on white (Summer term only)
• 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.

SCHOOL UNIFORM – update: Friday Flyer 24th January 2025  

I met with Bucks Schoolwear this week to confirm our uniform requirements for September 2025. There are a couple of changes we thought we would make you aware of now and we will of course remind you towards the end of the school year. 

• Children up to and including Year 4 will be allowed to wear just a white polo-shirt under their school jumper/cardigan (tie optional) every day. 

• Children in Year 5 & 6 to wear a stiff collared shirt with the new clip on tie that can be purchased through Bucks Schoolwear on their non PE/Forest School days, (children of course can continue to wear the traditional tie or elasticated tie if you already have these). 

• For PE and Forest School, from September 2025, we would like children to wear their school jumper/cardigan with a white polo t-shirt with their non-branded navy blue joggers/leggings/shorts instead of a plain hoodie. This is for safety reasons (hoods getting caught by other children or on tree branches therefore causing a choking hazard).  Also, when the children are on school trips whether PE related or not, if they are all in their school jumpers/cardigans they are easily recognisable by our members of staff. 

This way whatever day of the week it is their top half of clothing will be the same. These can then be worn for any sports clubs children participate in at lunch time or after school or if your child wishes to wear a different kit for a lunch/after school club they can bring that in a separate bag and get changed. 

If you need an extra logo'd top please visit our pre-loved cupboard in the office foyer and leave a donation with the office staff or use the QR code that is on the office door. White polo t-shirts can be brought at any supermarket.
