We are very proud of our school uniform at Burgh-by-Sands School and believe that wearing school uniform has a positive effect on improving children's attitudes to classroom and general school behaviour, also it helps to create a sense of common purpose and identity in the school.
We are committed to meeting the DfE’s (Department for Education) recommendations on costs and value for money. Every care is taken to ensure that our uniform is affordable for all current and future pupils, and that the best value for money is secured through reputable suppliers which we review regularly.
As part of our commitment to supporting families and ensuring our school uniform is accessible to everyone, we have recently reviewed our uniform policy. In response to this, our school governors have approved a slight change from September 2024 and have agreed that to make our uniform more accessible, items with the school logo will no longer be an essential requirement.
Affordably priced: Items with the school logo can continue to be purchased through our uniform supplier if families wish to choose this option but it is not an essential requirement. BE Uniforms, 11 West Tower Street, Carlisle, Uk CA3 8QT - 01228 810555
Non-branded is OK: We will keep branded uniform items to a minimum and they are not a requirement. We encourage families, especially those with children in Nursery, Reception, Y1 and Y2, to purchase plain, unbranded uniform. This is cheaper and better suited for children when they are growing quickly and getting messy during self-led play.
Items of unbranded school uniform in our school colour can be purchased easily and cheaply from a wide selection of local shops and supermarkets.

We believe these adjustments will ease the financial burden on our families and ensure that our pupils can continue to wear their uniforms with pride.
