· White or black shorts (no brand names i.e. Adidas, Nike, Reebok etc.)

· Plimsolls (for indoor PE) and trainers (for outdoor PE or plimsolls can be worn outside);

· Tracksuits, jogging bottoms or warm sports clothing are not to be worn during the Summer Term and teachers will advise when the children can wear these items - they must be plain black.

General Information

· Red Book Bags, Rucksacks and PE Bags are available to purchase with our logo but children are permitted to use their own style of sensible bag.

· All items of clothing, all school bags and lunch boxes/bottles need to be clearly labelled with the child’s name.

· The school has an agreed policy for the wearing of jewellery. Children may have a maximum of one pair of earrings (studs or sleepers and one in each ear) and may wear a watch. No other jewellery or accessory is permitted. These will need to be removed for PE or tape provided for the earrings for health and safety.

· Children may not wear make-up.

Please can we request that hair styles are sensible or hair is not dyed an obvious change in colour.

Year 5 and 6 Swimming lessons

We would like to clarify the requirements for swimwear during swimming lessons at school. Girls are expected to wear one piece costumes for comfort and practicality. Boys are expected to wear swimming trunks/shorts. Further, all costumes should be made of appropriate material that does not shed fibres into the pool as this blocks the filters.

If a child has specific needs that requires bespoke swimwear please contact the school directly.
