School UniformWhat a child wears to school reflects his/her attitude to learning. It portrays the school’s ethos and share positive values. We have a very simple uniform that the pupils are encouraged to wear. Yellow polo shirt Blue and white summer dress (Girls only) For Reception and Y1 Spare Pair of Wellies T shirts, polo shirts, royal blue sweatshirts and polar fleeces with the School badge embroidered on the front can be obtained through the school. As well as brand new items, the school also makes provision for parents to purchase “nearly new” school uniform. Brightly coloured clothes, which are more appropriate in a leisure setting, are discouraged. The children are encouraged to appreciate the difference between clothes appropriate for school and those for leisure. Clothes which reflect trends in fashion are not acceptable, including high heeled shoes. It is also useful to have a painting shirt in school. This can simply be made from a man’s old shirt, with some elastic sewn around the sleeves. It is useful to have a hanging loop in this as well. PE and Games kitIt is important for pupils to wear correct clothing for physical activities. Children will require: White t-shirt, black shorts, daps Tracksuits or sweatshirts can be worn for winter months. This should be kept in a large, named bag on your child’s peg. A dap bag with the school logo on can be purchased from school. This should be taken home from school and washed on a regular basis. Children in Key Stage 2 will also require a swimming kit, comprising of costume (no bikinis) for girls/swimming trunks (no shorts) for boys and a towel and a brush, for hair. Jewellery and other adornments The only items that are considered appropriate for school are watches, and studs worn in pierced ears. Lost PropertyEvery term, a large number of items of clothing accumulates as 'lost property'. Endeavours to find the owners of these are made but it is often difficult to identify items that are not labelled. We advise parents most strongly to ensure that all items that your child wears or brings to school are clearly labelled with his/her name. If your child has lost something then please check their classroom first, then check in the lost property box. |
