We ask that all children wear school uniform, as it promotes a smart appearance and provides practical clothing for school life.
Children should wear sensible school shoes. Trainers should not be worn as everyday footwear, although they may be changed into for PE and other appropriate activities.
Jewellery is not to be worn at school, as it is a potential hazard, this includes earrings. However, we do offer a temporary grace period (of 6 weeks) for newly pierced ears, during which pupils may keep small studs in, these must be covered with plasters, supplied by parents/carers to be allowed to participate directly in physical contact sports.
Please ensure that all clothing, uniform, bags and PE equipment are clearly labelled with your child's name.
