School Uniform
We expect all children to follow the uniform set out in this document and believe that our uniform promotes a sense of pride in our school. It is very important that all children wear the school uniform each day and have a full PE kit on their PE day. It is vital that all items of clothing have name labels inside as things do get lost in school.

The PE consists of:
-
Black shorts
-
White t-shirt
-
Trainers
-
Blue school PE hoodie – embroidered - or plain black jumper
-
A bag for wet, muddy kit
-
An extra layer of clothing for cold weather, a tracksuit or similar - plain black
For swimming lessons that will take place periodically through their time at the school children will require a swimming costume (no two pieces please), and towel. KS2 Children will also require football boots, shin pads and mouth guards for relevant sports but this will be advised at the time.
Hair Cuts
Whilst we believe that haircuts are a matter for parents to decide the school will not permit haircuts which distract children from their learning, which support logos or that cause offence. The school reserves the right to ask parents to collect their child from school in such circumstances. The same applies to hair accessories. For PE and practical activities long hair should always be tied back.
Jewellery
-
Children with pierced ears may wear stud ear piercings only. These should be removed or taped by the child before PE lessons. All studs must be removed for swimming lessons to prevent injury to other pool users.
-
Children may wear watches, but must be responsible for them and remove them for PE and swimming lessons.
-
Bracelets, brooches and necklaces are not permitted for safety reasons.
Make up, transfer tattoos and artificial nails should not be worn at school. Pupils will be asked to remove the make up at school or sent home if this is not possible.
Lost Property
All items of clothing should be clearly labelled with the child’s name so it can be returned to its owner. If an unnamed item is lost please refer to the lost property box in the school office. The lost property box will be cleared of unnamed items, if they have been there for longer than two weeks. The school cannot accept responsibility for lost or damaged items.
