School Uniform

Our uniform is a mark of the school’s collective identity.  Pupils were involved in the design, keeping comfort and practicality in mind; they are expected to present themselves, look after and wear their school uniform with pride.  Please ensure that all personal items are clearly named.

We have a pre-loved uniform rail in the school hall full of uniform that can be taken for free or for a donation.

Most infant PE sessions are indoor activities and do not require the children to change.  They work in bare feet – please do not provide plimsolls as, when the children do move to outdoor lessons, trainers are much more practical.  Kit can be kept safe in a kit-bag in school throughout the week.

Shoes

Children must wear safe and sensible footwear at all times (there is no stipulation on colour).  Good, sturdy and breathable trainers are ideal as they can be worn throughout the day and for PE.  Open toe shoes and crocs are not permissible owing to the stairs and other trip hazards around school. Slip-on shoes are not advisable, again for safety reasons, and cannot be worn when using the any of the outdoor equipment .

Accessories

No jewellery (except for wrist watch and plain stud ear-rings) or make-up (including nail-varnish) should be worn in school.
