East Barnet School Uniform

Uniform is a particularly important part of being a student at East Barnet School. It should be worn correctly and with pride.

All students are ambassadors for the school, and the way in which the uniform is worn should reflect our high standards and positive expectations. Our school uniform creates a sense of community cohesion, formality, and professionalism. The uniform and rules about appearance are non-negotiable.

Uniform in Years 7 - 11

Items with a red icon are required, orange are either item, and green are optional.

Blazer

Required

A black blazer without badge can be purchased from any retailer, and a badge purchased separately. A new blazer with badge already attached, can only be purchased from our official stockist.

Blazer Badge

Required if blazer with no badge is purchased

The EBS badge can only be purchased new from our official stockist. Badges must be aligned and securely attached to the blazer, either by ironing or sewing (depending on availability with stockist).

Sweater

Optional

A sweater to be worn under the blazer can be purchased from any retailer, but must be plain black and v-neck. A version with the badge can be purchased from our official stockist. The sweater is not a replacement for the blazer. No hoodies.

Tie

Required

Ties must be correctly fastened at an acceptable length. From 2022, all new students must wear a tie. The official school tie can only be purchased new from our official stockist.

Shirt

Required

Plain white shirts (short or long sleeve) can be purchased from any retailer. They must be buttoned up and tucked in at all times. No colourful t-shirts are to be worn underneath. 

Lanyard & ID Badge

Required and Provided

For safeguarding, all students must wear an ID badge. The school will provide the first lanyard and ID badge. If they are lost or broken, replacements will incur a fee.

Trousers

Either trousers or kilt are required

Trousers can be purchased from any retailer and must be black, plain and suitable for school. They should be straight leg and not tightly fitted. Jeans or leggings, even if they are black, are not acceptable.

Kilt

Either kilt or trousers are required

The EBS maroon kilt can only be purchased new from our official stockist. When worn, the two buckles must be on display, and the kilt must not be rolled up.

Socks / Tights

Either

For hygiene reasons, students must wear socks or tights with their shoes, which can be purchased from any retailer. Either option must be plain black.

Shoes

Required

Shoes must be black and flat, with a rigid sole and low heel. They can be purchased from any retailer and must be made of leather or similar material. No boots, trainers, canvas or sports shoes.

Outerwear

Optional

During colder months, students may wear a plain coat, body warmer or fleece, purchased from any retailer. These items must be removed when entering the building. 

School Bag

Optional but usually necessary

School bags can be purchased from anywhere, in any style or colour. Backpacks are our recommendation for bags, as they are better for posture when carrying heavy items. 

Wear Your Uniform with Pride

General Appearance

Parents, carers and students should take responsibility to ensure the uniform guidelines are followed. Students should always present themselves in a suitable manner for school, which includes uniform and appearance. Uniform should be clean, in good condition, and clearly labelled with a name.

Hairstyles

  • No shaven or fashionably exaggerated hairstyles.
  • No unnatural colours.
  • All students may have long hair, but we reserve the right to ask for it to be tied back.
  • Students are welcome to wear a plain black hijab, kippah or pagri.

Jewellery

  • One small stud per ear (students must remove these for PE lessons or use tape to cover them).
  • A watch (not a smart watch).
  • Religious or cultural jewellery may be worn, but not on display.
  • No hoops/dangling earrings. 
  • No facial piercings.
  • No other jewellery.

Make-up

  • No nail varnish/false nails.
  • No false eyelashes or extensions.
  • No make-up.

Cost of Uniform

We have a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education. We understand that items with distinctive characteristics (such as branded items, or those with a unique fabric/colour/design), cannot be purchased from a wide range of retailers and limits the ability to ‘shop around’ for a low price. We will make sure our uniform is available at a reasonable cost and provides the best value for money.

Hassle-free name labels!

Our friends at Stikins have created some amazing name labels that stick to clothes labels and do not come off, not even in the wash! No more smudgy pen or stitching fiddly little labels. PLUS! We will earn commission on every pack they sell, meaning more money back to the school to spend on the students.

Uniform Throughout the Year

We do not have a summer and a winter school uniform; the uniform is to be worn all year round. For warmth, there is an optional sweater.

It may be possible for new students who qualify for FSM to claim for school uniform up to the value of £50 upon joining the school. For more details and how to make a claim, please email finance@eastbarnetschool.com.

Expensive items

The school does not provide any insurance cover for property and clothing brought to school by students; parents/carers should bear this in mind when allowing children to bring very expensive items onto school premises.

East Barnet School PE Kit

The EBS PE Kit will be worn in PE lessons, sports clubs and when playing fixtures at home or away. 

Students are expected to wear their PE Kit to lessons. To accommodate the English weather, there are different variations of the PE Kit, that make up the full kit, therefore the weather appropriate options must be worn. The main colour of the PE Kit, like the uniform, is maroon and black.

PE Kit in Years 7 - 11

Items with a red icon are required, orange are either item, and green are optional.

Polo Shirt

Required

The EBS maroon polo shirt with logo can only be purchased from our official stockist. 

Tracksuit Top

Our tracksuit top with logo can only be purchased from our official stockist.

Tracksuit Bottoms

Either shorts, tracksuit bottoms or leggings are required

Plain black tracksuit bottoms (with no other logos) can be purchased from any retailer, however, a pair from our official stockist will match the tracksuit top.

Shorts

Either shorts, tracksuit bottoms or leggings are required

Plain black shorts (no logos or cycling shorts) can be purchased from any retailer.

Leggings

Either shorts, tracksuit bottoms or leggings are required

The only leggings that can be worn for PE are those from our official stockist.

Plain, white sports or ankle socks, can be purchased from any retailer.

Trainers

Trainers can be in any colour, as plain as possible, from any retailer.

Wear Your PE Kit with Pride

The EBS PE Kit which forms part of our uniform. Option of black jogging bottoms and black and maroon mid layer, or maroon polo shirt with black shorts.

Sporting Accessories

Students that are heavily involved in clubs and fixtures may benefit from other accessories such as white football socks, football boots or a gum shield, which can be purchased from any retailer. Students should discuss any requirements with their PE Teacher or Manager of their team.

PE Bags

There is no requirement for a PE bag, however, we have found from experience, that students are more organised when they have one. Drawstring bags are usually best and we request these are black. There is also a bag available from our stockist with the EBS logo. Whichever bag is bought, it is really important to have the student’s name, as PE Kits are notorious for turning up in lost property.

East Barnet School Pre-Loved Uniform

Pre-loved Uniform

Throughout the school year we hold regular sales of EBS Pre-loved uniform that has been kindly donated from our community.

Our pre-loved uniform offer exists to help our community and encourage sustainability within our community. We understand the financial pressures on families, and so, together with minimising branded items, we offer pre-loved uniform at a heavily reduced price, or even for free.

We warmly welcome parents and carers who would like to help organise these pre-loved uniform sales. Please head on over to our PTFA Webpage to see how you can get involved in the EBS community!

How to Donate

We welcome donations of uniform all throughout the school year. Parents, carers and students can drop off their donations of clean, good condition uniform to the front office and we will do the rest!

By donating uniform you are not just helping our EBS community, but you’re also helping the environment; reducing landfill, and helping our school become even more sustainable. What better way to protect the planet for future generations.

So, have a rummage around – we know there is some outgrown uniform in the back of your wardrobe – check it for holes, give it a quick wash, and drop it to school. Your donations are really appreciated.
