School
Uniform and Equipment
It is hoped that all parents support
us in our view that every child should wear our school uniform. We feel
that it enhances a feeling of pride, belonging and ownership. On a
practical note it makes a busy parent’s life much easier, as it
removes the discussion and competition that can surround what to wear
each day. Our uniform is attractive and versatile, giving some scope for
individuality whilst not being too demanding on the pocket. Some items of uniform, notably
our school sweatshirt, cardigan and jogsuits are available through the
school office. The uniform is:-
grey/dark trousers or shorts
white blouses, shirts or polo-shirts
grey skirts or tunics
red/white gingham or similar dress
red sweatshirt, pullover or cardigan We
ask that all items of children's uniform and P.E. kit are clearly named. P.E.
Kit It
is essential that children have a change of clothing for P.E. Indoors:- The children need a
pair of shorts, gym skirt or leotard, a T- shirt (not too big or
outrageous), plimsolls or trainers. Outdoors:- The children need a
pair of shorts or gym skirt, a T-shirt and a pair of training type
shoes. For cold weather a
tracksuit or extra jumper may be worn. If children play football for
the school or join the football club they will need a pair of football
boots and shin pads. For swimming, the children in Key Stage Two require
a swimming costume, towel and a plastic bag. Other
Equipment Books, pens and pencils are all provided. Older children may like to have felt tips, pencils and crayons in a case of their own. (Please note that the children are not allowed to write with biro in school). Personal
Belongings and Jewellery
We regret that we cannot take
responsibility for treasured possessions in school. Expensive watches,
jewellery, mobile phones and precious personal belongings are safer at
home. Stud earrings for
pierced ears and watches are the only items considered suitable for
school. For reasons of safety children
should not wear earrings, ear studs or other jewellery (metal, plastic,
leather or thread) during P.E. or games activities. For safety or
hygiene reasons this ruling will also apply during food technology
lessons as these items represent a potential hazard, to the wearer and
other pupils and staff. Medical, professional and occupational safety
advice confirms that any jewellery worn during these lessons constitutes
an unnecessary risk and should be avoided at all times. However, during
the initial period of having pierced ears when earrings are not to be
taken out, these will be covered with Micropore.
