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.
