Hair

All hair should be tied back where long enough. Haircuts should be appropriate for school.

Where headbands, bows or other hair accessories are worn, these should be small, simple and ideally in school uniform colours. Children should not wear hairbands that have ‘ears’, ‘boppers’ or any similar attachments, except on a non-uniform day.

PE Clothing

For health and safety reasons, it is important that children are properly dressed for any physical activity. No jewellery should be worn for PE, games or swimming. This includes earrings.

Our uniform for PE is as follows:

• Plain white round neck T-shirt.
• Navy shorts or games skirt
• Plimsolls for indoor physical education
• An outside PE kit consisting of trainers and a navy track suit (children will go outside for PE in the winter so must be suitably dressed. A hat and gloves are also advisable).

As a minimum, all children attend swimming lessons for a period of time in Key Stage 2. When swimming, children will need a one-piece swimming costume/trunks and a swimming hat.

Other Information

• PE kit should be kept in a named drawstring bag.
• Your child will need a plastic lunch box or mini-cool bag if they are bringing lunch to school. The type with provision for storing a drink is ideal and can be stored easily.
• Please do not allow children to bring large bags to school, as we do not have room to store them.
• Pupils are responsible for the security of their personal possessions. Children should not bring expensive items of personal property to school.
• During the summer months, it is advisable for children to have a sun hat in school and please ensure your child is protected with a high factor sunscreen on hot days.
• Please label all clothing/items with your child’s name
