School Uniform
Emmbrook Junior School children have an excellent reputation for looking smart in their uniform. We are proud of our children and hope that you will help us maintain this high standard as it is important that your child is dressed appropriately and smartly at all times.
We strongly recommend that all clothing and kit is clearly labelled with your child’s name. Name labels can be purchased via https://www.mynametags.com/affiliate?id=18970, however it is not a requirement that you use this supplier or any other but we do suggest that everything is clearly labelled.

Hair:
The Halo Code
Our school champions the right of staff and students to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black staff and students’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance.
We welcome Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps.
At this school, we recognise and celebrate our staff and students’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on anyone’s ability to succeed.
- All pupils must tie their hair back for school if it is long enough to do so. (Hair that touches the pupil’s shoulders, or longer, is considered long enough to be tied back.)
- Hair accessories; slides, scrunchies and bands are to be dark green, black or white.
- Extreme hairstyles and unnatural hair colours are not acceptable for the pupils to have in school.

All pupils should have:
- Plain green T-shirt (with school logo preferred)
- Plain black shorts
- Plain black tracksuit bottoms
- Plain black sweatshirt, no hoodies, zips or pockets
- Trainers which provide a good grip and fasten securely for the sake of the pupil’s safety.
- A named drawstring bag to keep their PE kit in.
