At Longlands, we believe that wearing a school uniform helps to foster a sense of belonging, pride, and equality among our pupils. It supports a positive learning environment and helps children to focus on their education without distractions.
We kindly ask that all children come to school dressed in the correct uniform each day. Uniform items can be purchased through our supplier, Mapac:
www.mapac.com/education/parents/uniform/longlandsen106ag
Please ensure that all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name to help us return any lost property quickly.
Support Longlands and stay organised with Stikins name labels!
Stikins are easy-to-use name labels for clothes, shoes, lunch boxes and more with no sewing or ironing required.
When you order using our school fundraising number 12399, Longlands earns 30% commission on every purchase.
Funds raised will be used to enhance the pupil experience at school, helping us provide additional resources, activities and opportunities for the children.

Cold Weather Clothing
We encourage children to play outside throughout the year, so it’s important they are dressed appropriately for the weather. If your child arrives by car, please still send them with a warm coat, hat, and gloves during colder months, as they will be outside during break times.
Even in spring, mornings can be chilly, so a coat may still be needed even if the forecast suggests warmer weather later in the day.
Hair
Hair that reaches shoulder length or longer must be tied back for safety and hygiene reasons. We kindly ask that children avoid extreme hairstyles, such as shaved patterns, Mohicans, spikes, coloured hair, or the use of gel and similar products, as these can be distracting in the learning environment.
Make-Up
Make-up, including nail varnish, should not be worn to school. If worn, children will be asked to remove it.
Jewellery
We understand that purchasing uniform can sometimes be a challenge. If you would like any support with uniform items, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of staff at the school office. We’re here to help and will do our best to assist you.
Need Support with Uniform?
For safety reasons, children should not wear jewellery to school. A plain watch may be worn but must be removed for PE. Please note that we cannot take responsibility for any lost items.
If your child has recently had their ears pierced, earrings must be covered with plasters or tape for the first six weeks. After this period, only small stud earrings may be worn. We recommend scheduling ear piercing at the start of the summer holidays to allow time for healing.
