Swallowfield Primary Transition
In February, we asked for your thoughts on our school uniform as we transition to Swallowfield Primary. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey and shared their views with us.
We also asked the school staff and some children to provide their feedback and along with all the responses received from the survey, we have proposed and agreed some changes to our uniform with effect from September 2022.
Please note that children may still wear Swallowfield Lower School uniform to school as we transition to Swallowfield Primary. These changes come into effect from September 2022.
