The wearing of our full school uniform is expected as an integral part of our school community ethos which promotes choice, equality, positive attitudes, high standards and a sense of personal pride in all that is our community.
Our children can wear non branded grey: shorts/trousers/skirt or pinafore and a black branded Whiteabbey PS sweatshirt or cardigan and white school or non branded polo shirt. In the warmer months our girls may also choose to wear a non branded blue gingham dress.
The school branded items can be purchased a little over cost through our Parents and Teacher Association. The PTA have an online shop where uniform items can be purchased, this can be accessed via this link Whiteabbey PS PTA Uniform Shop.
Our non branded uniform is supplied from a range of supermarkets, online and in store, including: Asda, M&S, Sainsburys and Tescos.
Our branded items are sold a little over cost as a fundraiser for our PTA which is a registered charity with all profits being used for the benefit of our children in school.
The PTA will also run a number of Uniform Shops throughout the course of the school year where parents can purchase the usual brand uniform items and a selection of inexpensive pre loved options as well. Any queries in relation to uniform, parents can email whiteabbeypsuniforms@gmail.com and one of our PTA volunteers will be happy to help.
For PE our children wear non branded plain black outdoor shoes and are also required to have non branded black elasticated or velcro PE slippers in school in their PE bag. These will remain in school throughout the week.
To avoid distractions and to maintain a conservative and modest feeling to day to day life, our children do not wear make up or jewellery; except for a wrist watch and if ears are pierced, only one small stud in each ear. No other piercings are permitted.
Our children are expected to have natural hair colours and no extremes in hair style or length. Children should not wear a style of hair with shapes cut into their hair or where there are large contrasts of length. If this is breached, we reserve the right to ask parents to take their child out of school until the matter is addressed.
