Creagh School Uniform Consultation 2023

Currently children wear only a polo shirt /school track suit for Junior and Senior Infants. From first class children are required to have a crested jumper, polo shirt and trousers/skirt in addition to a tracksuit on PE days.
One cost saving measure could be that the years children are only required to wear a tracksuit are extended beyond Infants.
Any changes would be optional for the first number of years so that children could still wear jumpers/ other uniform items already purchased.

Possible extension of the wearing of the school tracksuit as main uniform. Please indicate your preference below *

No change in current practice. School tracksuits only uniform: option extended to include first class School tracksuits only uniform; option extended to include 1st/2nd class School tracksuits only uniform: option extended to include 1st/2nd/3rd class School tracksuits only uniform: option extended to include 1st/2nd/3rd/4th class

If it is decided to extend the wearing of school tracksuits as the main uniform to more classes, it may be necessary in the future to ensure that they contain the school crest instead of just the school name (as is currently the case.)

There will be no immediate change to the current school tracksuit design for next September.

(It is important to know that logo's and designs could not be an option for tracksuit bottoms. The generic bottoms mentioned are those bought as school uniform items and are stocked in stores such as Lidl, Aldi Tesco, Dunnes, Marks and Spencers, Penneys etc.)

Please indicate your preference for a new tracksuit type moving forward. *

No change to current school labelled tracksuit New design 3/4 zip crested top in school colours with plain generic tracksuit bottoms/ plain generic shorts Current school labelled tracksuit top with plain generic bottoms Current School tracksuit design with the addition of school crest (instead of school name)

We feel that it would be best if fifth and 6th class, the two senior classes in the school, retained a more formal school uniform. This, we feel, is also good preparation for the transition to secondary school where uniforms are often more formal.
Please indicate which of the following options would be your preferred options for 5th/6th class in the future.

5th/6th class uniform *

No change to current school uniform of polo shirt and crested school jumper with trousers/skirt/pinafore New design 3/4 zip crested top in school colours with trousers/skirt/pinafore. Plain generic bottoms on PE days Same design jumper as present but different material (eg. not wool) Polo top/trousers/ skirt/pinafore

Do you agree that the colour of the Creagh School Uniform should stay the same as it is now (Teal Green) *

Yes No

Do you agree that the current school crest should remain as part of the Creagh NS school uniform? *
