PE Uniform
Children are asked to come into school on the day of their PE lesson wearing their PE kit. They can wear it for the full school day.
Parents/carers are responsible for ensuring their child is dressed appropriately for PE.
The PE kit is as follows:
- Plain white T-shirt (with or without the school logo)
- Black, navy or grey plain hoody, sweatshirt, or alternatively children may wear a normal school jumper
- Black, navy or grey plain tracksuit bottoms or leggings
- Black, navy or grey plain shorts (in summer)
- Plain, suitable trainers or black pumps
- A plain baseball cap or sun-hat for outdoor PE in summer.
Please note: While plain jogging bottoms, hoodies/sweatshirts are preferred, a small, branded logo is acceptable. All items of clothing and footwear must be labelled with the pupil’s name.
Jewellery
The only permitted jewellery that may be worn is:
- One pair of stud earrings (no other piercings are permitted)
- A sensible wristwatch (not a smartwatch)
Jewellery is the responsibility of the pupil and not the school. Lost or damaged items will not be refunded. All jewellery must be removed during practical lessons, for example, PE lessons / swimming lessons. If children cannot remove their own earrings, then this should be done at home on the day of PE.
School Bag
Pupils must use an appropriately sized waterproof bag to carry their books and equipment.
It should hold children’s books and reading diaries comfortably without causing any damage.
Large bags / large rucksacks are discouraged for day-to-day lessons due to space on children’s pegs.
School bags featuring inappropriate images, slogans or phrases are not permitted.
The school encourages pupils to bring non-valuable bags to school. The school will not be liable for lost or damaged school bags.
School book bags can also be purchased from Sports FX but can also be purchased from other stockists such as Amazon.
Water Bottle
All children should bring a water bottle into school every day: this can be refilled by children whenever necessary during the day.
Water bottles must be labelled with the pupil’s name.
Hair Styles
Hairstyles should be smart and moderate in style. Brightly coloured hair is not permitted. The Head Teacher will take each individual pupil’s scenario into consideration.
Long hair should be tied up. This is to avoid health and safety risks and ensure that children’s vision is not impeded.
Large, excessive hair accessories should not be worn; however, small hair clips or plain headbands are acceptable.
Children will be permitted to wear appropriate hair/head coverings on religious grounds.
Hair extensions are not permitted.
At the Head Teacher’s discretion, there may be exceptions to the above in extreme circumstances e.g. a pupil may be permitted to cover their hair if they have hair loss/illness etc.
Make Up
False nails and nail extensions are not permitted.
Only clear nail varnish may be worn.
Children are not allowed to wear make-up. Pupils wearing make-up are required to remove it.
At the Head Teacher’s discretion, there may be exceptions to the above in extreme circumstances e.g. a pupil may be permitted to cover heavy scarring/skin damage.
Adverse Weather
Hot Weather
Everyone working at/attending the school during hot weather conditions is required to wear sun-safe clothing that covers as much of their skin as possible.
This includes wearing:
- Sun-safe hats
- Sunscreen (children must be able to apply this themselves and it must be labelled and handed to the child’s class teacher)
There may be adaptations made to normal school uniform but parents will be notified of this via letter or text.
If outside during break and lunch times, pupils not wearing sun-safe clothing/sunscreen will be directed to stay in an area protected from the sun.
Cold Weather
During cold weather, pupils will still take break times outdoors unless the weather is so severe this is not possible. It is therefore advised that children bring scarves, gloves, coats and hats.
Additional layers underneath the usual school uniform are accepted.
Where possible, pupils not wearing warm clothing are provided with spare clothing if going outside during break and lunch times.
Labelling
School staff encourage good organisation of clothing and footwear. However, all pupils’ clothing and footwear must be clearly labelled with their name. Clothing and footwear are the responsibility of the pupil and not the school.
Any lost clothing which is not labelled is to be taken to the lost property box. All lost property is retained for a term and is disposed of if it is not collected within this time.
