Red sweatshirts (no hoodies)
Red polo shirt
Black trousers / joggers / leggings / shorts
Black shoes or trainers - no laces please until children can tie them themselves
We ask that long hair should be tied back.
Coats
Children should wear coats when the weather is cooler or when there is a risk of rain: children may play outside in light rain or need to move around school site as part of learning activities.
Children are not allowed to wear jewellery with the exception of small stud earrings, or watches (not Smart Watches). Please do not allow your child to wear jewellery, as it can be dangerous. If a child does come to school wearing jewellery, they will be asked to remove it.
We request that all parents support our school uniform policy.
PE & Outdoor Learning
Children should wear black shorts, leggings or joggers for PE with their school polo shirt.
Pupils taking swimming lessons should wear suitable clothing (no bikinis or swim shorts) and may need to wear swimming hats and verrucae socks etc if necessary.
They will also sometimes need to wear appropriate footwear for outdoor learning e.g. wellies. In addition, for some activities, we may ask for children to dress appropriately for outdoor learning activities e.g. this might be old clothes if there is a risk of getting muddy or warmer clothing / gloves abd hat / additional layers if it is particularly cold.
For safety reasons, watches and earrings are not allowed during PE and games lessons and must be removed before the lesson. We understand that some children may have newly pierced ears:
The school and the Authority do not advise the wearing of jewellery, and cannot accept responsibility for its loss or damage, nor for any injury which the jewellery may cause. We advise that any children wishing for their ears to be pierced do so in the six week Summer Holiday.
Personal belongings
Toys and equipment should not be brought to school because we cannot take responsibility for them. Pupils’ property is not insured by the school or the LEA and is brought on site at the owner's risk. Children do not need to bring pencil cases to school as we can provide everything they need.
