what should children wear?
our dress code
Hunter’s Bar Infant School has a voluntary dress code, which includes:
- Plain sweatshirt, fleece, cardigan or jumper in red or bottle green
- Plain polo shirt in red, bottle green or white
- Plain, dark trousers, shorts, skirts or pinafore dresses in navy, black or dark grey

Parents have the option of purchasing polo shirts, sweatshirts, fleeces, jackets and hats, embroidered with the school logo through the school office. Alternatively, items in the school dress code colours can be purchased from all major suppliers such as supermarkets and chain stores. The Home School Association (H.S.A) can arrange for second hand items to be available for parents and carers to purchase at a reduced rate, if they wish.
The following items fall outside of the dress code and we request that parents avoid them:
- tops, trousers and skirts of colours other than those listed above
- jeans, combat trousers and sports wear with logos
Clothes should be comfortable and appropriate for the weather conditions - including a hat and suncream in the summer, a water resistant coat during wet weather and warm, outdoor clothing in the winter.
