Thorp Primary School

Our Uniform

We pride ourselves on the appearance of our children. It is Thorp’s policy that all children should wear uniform and be fully equipped for PE.

We would appreciate if you would observe the following guidelines.

Due to the size of our cloakrooms we request that children do not bring large bags or rucksacks to school but a Thorp logo reading book bag, or a plain book bag, and small sports kit bag with the child’s name on for their PE kit.
