We expect our pupils to be dressed cleanly and to wear the appropriate school uniform. The uniform policy can be viewed by clicking here.
The Every Day Active Uniform
- Dark purple sweatshirt or cardigan. We are asking parents to include the logo so that the children look smart and have a strong sense of identity/belonging. This is a preference and is not mandatory.
- White polo shirt
- Black jogging bottoms, leggings, or shorts (tailored or cycling – not sports/football shorts or short gym shorts).
- All bottoms must be plain black with no markings or logos.
- Footwear should be plain black with no markings or logos and must be sturdy enough for being active outdoors – no boots. They should be suitable for high impact PE activities, playtimes and being outside in all weathers – black, closed foot, cushioned shoes or trainers with a grip are recommended and, in KS1, all footwear should be Velcro fastened.
- We are setting up an area to store wellingtons for use during Forest School sessions, as soon as this is ready, we will let you know and ask for named wellingtons to be brought in as and when required.
For parents who would like a wider choice, children can also wear the following:
- Black trousers, skirts or purple check dresses can also be worn except on PE days.
There will no longer be a school PE kit.
School Bags
From September 2022, Reception children will be given a book bag which they can use all the way through school. Children in year 3 have the option to continue using the book bag or to purchase a bag no larger than: height 38cm, width 28cm and depth 19cm. Bags need to be relatively small as storage spaces are tight and we need to adhere to fire regulations.
Swimming
Swimsuit/trunks, goggles, towel and a swimming hat (Y4 and Y5.) Letters will be sent home with more information.
Jewellery
No jewellery is allowed apart from earrings, which must be removed or taped up for PE and swimming for health and safety reasons. The tape must be provided by yourselves. If earrings are removed, please supply a small box/envelope so your child can safely look after them. If you plan to have your child’s ears pierced, please do this at the beginning of the summer holidays to give them time to heal – otherwise your child misses out on a vital part of their education.
