DVIS uniform

[Sanne Panne]

Sorry, another uniform thread...

I just looked at the uniform website which sells all kinds of things with logo but I'm not sure where to stop.

Which items of the DVIS uniform MUST have the logo on them? Jumper, polo?

There's not a word about socks/tights so I assume white or grey socks and grey tights/leggings are ok under skirts/dresses.

Do trousers have to be real trousers or are decent looking leggings also ok for girls in reception?

They don't mention dresses, can I just get red or chequered red/white uniform dresses at M&S?

Can they wear any colour coat and raincoat? And wellies? (shoes must be red/navy/brown but can they wear their regular yellow wellies with terrible girly print on them?)

Thanks for helping...

I've gone for logo'd polos and jumpers. I've got M&S trousers/shorts (boy). I assuming thats ok? oh and grey socks etc.

It's suddenly come round very quickly!

That sounds ok to me KatDew, I'm just wondering whether to buy 1 or 2 items of each (jumper, polo) with logo and get the rest/spares plain to save some money or if all kids have logos on their tops.

Just thinking the dresses and skirts may have to be grey. If you click through to the "plain" range on the uniform website it shows grey.

yes I wasn't sure how many to go for on numbers either. I've gone for 3 polo shirts and 2 jumpers. Just got to hope he's not one of those kids who permanently looses school uniform

Hello!

I found this as it was the only place I could find an actual list (other than the guidance in the New Parents' Information booklet):

http://www.yourschooluniform.com/schools/Dulwich_Village_C_E_Infant_School_SE21_7AL/

I have a son about to start and have gone for only one logo-ed polo shirt and two logo-ed sweatshirts and everything else non-logo M&S/Tesco. I prefered the non-logo-ed tops as they were 100% cotton and cheaper. They only need to wear the logo-ed clothes when they go on outings so I hope that's ok. I've got 6 non-logo polo shirts (well, they were only ?2 for 2!) and 4 non-logo (thin...) sweatshirts.

I think you're assumptions are safe Sanne Panne on socks/tights. And I reckon any "sensible" coat should be fine if they don't specify. Re dresses - yes, I think any red/white gingham dress should be fine.

My son asks every day if he's going to go to school.... The concept of 4 weeks time is difficult to get across!!

I have a daughter just going into Year 1 at DVIS - the uniform is basically anything red or grey, they don't actually have to wear anything with the logo on. Last year I bought her two logo-ed t-shirts, a polo shirt and a sweatshirt (more than enough really) and then supplemented with some Sainsbury's plain red polo shirts, Sainsburys red cardigans and some plain grey and red round necked tops. Tights and socks red, grey or white, everyone tends to wear the checked red and white dresses or my daughter had a red and white striped dress this summer which was fine. Any coat and any wellingtons fine - they are pretty relaxed really.

Hope that helps.

That certainly helps laurac, thanks so much!

I have a couple of red check dresses that are too small for my daughter now (they are Sainsburys age 5). PM me if you'd like them. As Laurac says, anything red, grey or white is fine. Shoes can be black, brown, navy or red. My daughter never wants to wear the logo sweathsirts and t-shirts I got as she prefers to be more girly!
