We feel that a school uniform encourages children to identify with, and have a pride in, their school. It also helps to ensure that children are suitably dressed to enable them to focus on their work. Parents are therefore requested to send their children to school in uniform consisting of:-
Boys: Long or short grey trousers
Green or grey pullover or sweatshirt
White or grey shirt or polo shirt
School tie (optional)
School shoes (not trainers)
Girls:
Grey skirt, pinafore dress or school trousers Green or grey pullover or cardigan White blouse or polo shirt School tie (optional) School shoes (not trainers)
In addition, for art and technology, the children need a shirt (preferably a large one) to protect their clothes. Please mark all items of clothing with your child’s name.
All these items are available from the popular chain stores. School ties are available for those who choose to have them. Sweatshirts printed with the school name are available from the Parents’ Assocation and order forms can be obtained from school.
Clothing for Physical Education and Games
All children will need a white tee shirt and black shorts of the P.E. style with an elasticated waist for indoor lessons. In addition, a pair of black plimsolls are required and these can also be used when a change of shoes is necessary due to very wet weather. For general games lessons taken outdoors, children from Year 1 onwards need a warm change of clothes, e.g. a tracksuit top and bottoms, and a pair of strong trainers. Black tracksuits are preferable and are available from school.
All P.E. clothing and shoes should be kept in a bag with the child’s name clearly marked. When games kit is forgotten, children will be asked to wear a coat and go outside to watch the activities. As a general rule, if children are fit to attend school, they should take part in all activities. On the rare occasions when a child is not fit for P.E. or games, or swimming, a note should be sent from home to this effect. Jewellery and watches should not be worn in school. We accept no responsibility if these items are broken or lost.
