This policy is intended to be read by parents of children at Fairway Primary Academy. Uniform is compulsory at Fairway Primary Academy and we are proud of our uniform. We believe that wearing uniform promotes a sense of belonging and unity. Wearing the uniform helps to maintain our calm school approach, whilst reinforcing our school value of Responsibility.
Wearing a uniform helps to establish pride in being part of Fairway Primary Academy and we are kindly asking for all parents to support school by ensuring their children are in the correct school uniform. The following is what is expected from all children at Fairway in terms of school uniform:

At Fairway Primary Academy, we are committed to keeping uniform affordable for all families. We hold a wide range of high‑quality pre‑loved uniform in school, including jumpers, cardigans, dresses, trousers, PE kit and coats. These items are available free of charge for families who need them.
We also run a Uniform Swap Shop, where parents can donate outgrown items and pick up the next size in exchange. This helps reduce waste, support our community, and ensure every child has what they need to feel confident and ready for school.
If you would like to browse our pre‑loved uniform or take part in the swap shop, please contact Miss Daly in the school office, who will be happy to help.
