Yes, why do you ask?

lexcat · 10/12/2008 16:40

Yes and though they maybe a pain to keep clean, white with navy looks very smart.

Simplysally · 10/12/2008 16:42

Yes white polo for classroom, red t-shirt for PE (as some children didn't bother changing shirts!)

bigTillyMint · 10/12/2008 16:46

Yes white polo / shirt, but you can wear light blue too - much better as it doesn't show the dirt

I think it looks just as smart as white.

Like Scummymummy: white polo shirt but you can wear red if you want to. Red sweatshirts/cardigans. There is also an option for a white shirt and school tie - but that only tends to be the P5s and above who wear them.

at dd's school, you can go for either white polo shirt or red, we have red. in fact dd currently wears her red long sleeved high school musical top but her pinafore covers the motif

MrsWeasleyStrokesSantasSack · 10/12/2008 18:18

infants and primary Yes
Senior school No but yes if you include PE kits

KbearingGiftsWeTraverseAfar · 10/12/2008 18:28

no - blue

but pale grey sweatshirts which look dirty after half and hour!!!!

alarkaspree · 10/12/2008 18:32

Yes but it's optional - dd can wear white, yellow, pink, navy or green polo shirt with school logo. It's fab.

White clothes annoy me because I only manage to get a whole load of whites together for a wash quite infrequently.

PrettyCandles · 10/12/2008 18:32

Yes.

I've no objection to white, but I do wish they'd use only washable markers!

MollieO · 10/12/2008 18:40

No thank heavens! Grey shirt and shorts with green sweatshirt.

Heifer · 10/12/2008 19:10
