2) Uniform
Navy blue jumper or cardigan - This does not have to be a school jumper so long as the colour’s right. School jumpers are available from the office in various sizes, prices from £7.50-£10.00.
White, navy blue or grey shirts, blouses or polo shirts - Again, these don’t have to have the school logo.
Black or grey trousers or skirt
Black school shoes - Children are permitted to wear black, shoe-style trainers as long as there are no coloured or white stripes on them. They may change into trainers for the playground or PE, but MUST change back into school shoes when in school. No high heels or boots.
Black, blue, grey or white socks or tights. NOT bright flourescent colours!
NO jewellry is permitted except stud earrings, which should be removed for swimming.
PE Kit
What the children wear for PE is under review. We would like it to be stricter with certain clothing not permitted for physical activity. The most essential kit is trainers. These have to be sturdy with a good grip. Trainers may get muddy. Next, we would like the children to wear a blue, grey or white t-shirt or polo shirt, with blue, grey, black or white shorts or tracksuit bottoms. The same colour sweatshirts or tracksuit tops are permitted in colder weather. The reason for these changes is that recently we have noticed that unsuitable clothing has been worn for PE, including denim, ” fashion tops” and unsafe footwear. We feel as though a strict uniform for all aspects of school life is essential, giving the children sense of belonging. We would very much like it if you could support us in this matter. As ever, kit should be marked clearly with your child’s name, and taken home to wash regularly. (Football shirts are permitted for Football Club.)
3) Timetables
The days can vary quite dramatically, but we do try and stick to a set timetable for most of the time. Here are daily timetables, homework and Clubs.
