School Uniform
As we look ahead to an exciting new chapter for The Riverview Academy, we want to ensure that any changes made are thoughtful, inclusive, and in the best interests of our families. With that in mind, I want to reassure you that:
- Children should continue to wear their current uniform for Terms 1 and 2 (September – December) of the new academic year ~ Children can just wear a plain white shirt and dark trousers if needed.
- Children moving from Year 2 into Year 3 may continue to wear their existing Infant uniform until the end of term 2, or you can purchase the current junior uniform if you wish ~ Children can just wear a plain white shirt and dark trousers if needed.
- I will be writing to you again very early in the autumn term to consult with you on the new Riverview uniform, including colour, design, and style, so that it reflects our values and identity as a school community.
- I am pleased to confirm that every child will receive a branded item of the new uniform free of charge, to support the transition. This will be introduced from January 2026.
- Families eligible for the pupil premium grant will have access to some additional support via a dedicated fund.
- Above all, please be assured that our aim is to keep the new uniform simple, practical, and affordable for all families.
