By using Baker and Son for your uniform you will continue to support the school in raising funds as we do receive some sponsorship from the supplier.
However, if you prefer, you are welcome to purchase plain items from a local store.
Neither Telford and Wrekin Council, nor the School, offer a grant towards school uniform.

*The pale blue PE T-Shirt with a Dothill logo is available for purchase from our uniform suppliers – Baker and Sons in Wellington. It is a good quality, silky feel, like a football shirt. A plain pale blue T-shirt purchased from a local store is also suitable. Please do not wear a normal school polo shirt with a collar for PE uniform.
There will be no PE lessons during the first week of term. Classes will be informed of their PE day by the teachers during the first week in preparation for PE starting in week two.
Water Bottles
Water is vital for everyone and in children it plays an especially critical role in maintaining health and wellbeing. Studies have shown that children who do not drink enough water are more prone to tiredness, poor concentration and dehydration. As a school we encourage the children to drink water throughout the day by using individual water bottles. The bottles are kept in a specially designated area in each classroom where they can be easily accessed throughout the day. The ’Friends of Dothill’ (PTA) will provide a water bottle for EYFS children. Everyone else should purchase a suitable bottle (not glass) from a local supplier and send that into school with your child. Please ensure the water bottle is named so your child uses their own bottle. The bottle should be taken home and washed on a regular basis, and returned full of plain water – NO OTHER DRINKS PLEASE. If your child runs out of water during the day, they can ask in their class for their bottle to be re-filled. They will also use their water bottle in the hall whilst eating their lunch.
Name Tags
We ask that all clothing is clearly named. If you are looking to purchase some name tags, please see details below of our preferred supplier:
