No branded sportswear or football shirts of any kind are allowed for P.E. or games sessions.
ALL ITEMS OF SCHOOL UNIFORM MUST BE CLEARLY LABELLED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME.
Accessories
No jewellery is allowed in school except for one pair of small stud earrings and any religious items. Children do need to remove jewellery on P.E. and swimming days. If you wish your child to have pierced ears, we suggest you do this at the beginning of the summer holiday, to ensure that they can be safely removed before P.E. sessions in the autumn term. The school will not accept responsibility for any personal injury sustained by the child, which is directly attributed to the wearing of earrings.
All hair decorations must be kept small and in keeping with the school uniform colours.
We want our children to wear their uniform with pride. The school requests that you send your child each day, neatly, cleanly and sensibly dressed for school.
