Heber school uniform - what's needed and where to get it?

[Chippy Minton]

Our daughter starts at Heber in a few weeks. Where's the best place to get the uniform?

Also, as we are new to having to buy a uniform, what exactly do you think she needs? A mixture of generic skirts/dresses along with a couple of specific sweatshirts branded with the logo from the school?

Blue sweatshirt, available from school. White polo shirt with school emblem, available from school. Don't have girls so don't know about dresses but they are blue and white checked summer dresses that a lot of the girls wear. Some girls also wear grey pinafore/sleeveless type dresses. Otherwise, grey skirt or trousers. Black shoes. There is also a school zip up jacket. Some kids wear them, but not all.

On quantity - how much do you want to wash! Depending on how messy you daughter is at meal times,then 2-3 sweatshirts. Remember Reception kids also play with a lot of messy play as well. How many polo shirts you get depend on whether your daughter will be wearing dresses and what type of dress.

The school office may be open a week or so before school starts. Try giving them a ring. I do know some of the office staff are not term time only. Otherwise, don't sweat. You can always get stuff in the first week.

Hope your daughter enjoys Heber.

(Edited to make sense!)

Can anyone confirm what date the nursery kids go back? I have a letter but it says nursery dates vary.

Thanks

We have just sweatshirts - 5 and white polos just came from m&s. We also have plain tracksuit bottoms, fleece top and white tsahirt for pe in a named bag but iirc reception don't need that.

We have about 8 trousers and polos otherwise washing and ironing is a bit fiddly to keep up.. he has clean every day

No need for PE kit in Reception. But, for yr 1 onwards it is tracksuit trousers or shorts and plain white polo. We used to have plimsoles for indoor PE once a week (other session is outdoors) but my oldest just has a pair of trainers packed for both sessions now.
