Uniform

School uniform should be worn by all children from Reception to Year 6, as it fosters a sense of belonging.

All Jumpers, cardigans, fleeces and sweatshirts should have the Purwell logo on them. Items of school uniform are sold at very reasonable prices and can be purchased through BEAT, the uniform shop in Hitchin, who supply the logo uniform for Purwell. Caps, bookbags and PE bags can be purchased from the school office. Also you can purchase standard white PE tops, shirts, dresses, trousers etc, from most supermarkets, ASDA, Tesco and Sainsburys.
