Clothing

Our aim for uniform is that:

It looks smart, wears well and contributes to a sense of belonging and community; makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance; fosters a feeling of pride, and is designed with health and safety in mind.

We ask that all children wear uniform and encourage them to maintain a good standard of clean and tidy dress in school. The uniform is designed to be practical, maintainable and good value for money. Hair accessories such as slides, ribbons bobbles, etc, should be fairly simple and if possible in school colours. For safety reasons we ask that the children do not wear jewellery in school.

Please ensure that all items are labelled clearly with your child’s name. This includes:

• Sweatshirts / Cardigan
• Polo shirts / shirts / blouses
• Trousers / skirts
• Tights / socks
• PE kit
• Shoes
• Coats / hats / scarves / gloves

Please bring a named water bottle to school.
