  Frequently Asked Questions

Why order from school?
This places additional work on our school office staff but we firmly believe that, in the long term, this will benefit parents and will help to keep overall uniform costs stable. As we build our school uniform stock we will hopefully be able to reinvest any profits to support parents with the price of uniform. Because school will be supplying uniform, any issues with quality or aftercare can be quickly resolved. We also provide a good quality seconds uniform outlet for parents to access should they wish to do so. This is mamanged by Mrs Ingram. Look out on ClassDojo for dates when we have these available to buy.
 

Can I buy alternatives from the supermarket?

Shirts, summer dresses, trousers, skirts (black or grey) etc. can be bought from local supermarkets and stores. There are some really good deals out there that can work out cheaper than your traditional uniform store. 
 

What about PE uniform?
All pupils will be expected to adhere to our PE uniform. All pupils will be expected to wear our Castletown sports top. These are quality breathable sports tops and your child will only need one top for the school year.  Pupils will continue to wear royal blue PE shorts, as normal, and our Castletown PE hoodie. 

My child has SEN and sensory needs. What do I do?
We work very closely with parents of all of our SEN children. In In exceptional cases, school can make allowances regarding school uniform. Please have a conversation with Mr. Duncan if you need to.
 

What if a part of my child's uniform is lost?
It is really important that our children look after their school uniform. Our school is no different from any other school in that items of uniform do get misplaced from time to time. Please ensure that you have labelled every item so that, if misplaced, lost items of uniform can be found and returned quickly. We have spoken with all of the children about taking care of their school uniform.
 

I still have concerns or questions, what do I do?
Please come and speak to us. Mr. Duncan has an open-door policy and he is more than happy to chat with any parent about any concerns that you may have.
  

Do you have any samples to check sizes?
