Dosthill Primary Academy High Street, Dosthill, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B77 1LQ 01827 213845 Part of the [email protected] Fierté Multi-Academy Trust Tuesday 18th June, Dear parents and carers, I would like to write to you to outline the new uniform policy from September 2019. As a governing body, we are intent on ensuring that our school continues to thrive and prosper in all aspects of school life. The new logo has enabled us to reflect upon and consider how to further improve the uniform that children wear at Dosthill Primary Academy and there are a few changes that we would like to share with you along with the reasons for these amendments. Jumpers or cardigans with the old logo can be worn alongside the new knit wear up until January 2020 as we realise that you may have some uniform that still fits your child/children. However, the name of the school on the old logo is no longer the name of our school which is another reason why the changes have been made and will be phased out by January. Our bottle green colour gives our school a sense of belonging and this colour will remain. The main changes are that the jumpers, tank tops and cardigans are knit wear rather than sweater style. The new uniform also consists of a shirt and tie so the knit wear is a V-neck style. At our last governors meeting we agreed that every child will be provided with their first tie. Similarly to Glascote Primary Academy, shirt and ties are being introduced to link in with the Fierté promises of: 'Pride in my Work, Pride in Myself, Pride in my School, Pride in my Community.' The new uniform will encompass the idea of pride in our appearance. House teams will be re-distributed at the end of term and re-launched with new names. Each house team will have a tie with their house colour incorporated within the tie. New Uniform Overview Bottle green jumper, tank top or cardigan with V-neck (The garments with logos can be purchased from Clothing 4 Schools. Plain bottle green knit wear jumpers or cardigans with a V-neck can also be worn).

One of our school values is ‘Excellence in Everything’ and we look forward to seeing the children in their new style uniform from September onwards so that they are enjoying all aspects of school life with an increased sense of pride in their appearance. Wishing you a wonderful summer term ahead. Kind regards, Mrs Julia Jones Chair of Governors .
