Uniform & Appearance

Our school uniform is:

• Grey or black smart trousers, skirt, culottes, pinafore or shorts. No leggings.
• Grey or white socks. Tights should be grey or black.
• Navy polo shirt (branded available). Shirts should be tucked in at all times.
• Navy cardigan or sweatshirt (branded available). No hoodies for non-PE days.
• Black, flat school shoes. Plain white/ black/navy sandals in the summer if desired, worn with socks. 
• No long or Ugg-style boots, Crocs, heeled shoes or flip flops because they are not practical at school all day – please provide flat school shoes for the health and safety of your child. They need to be able to both run around and sit on the floor crossed-legged comfortably in their footwear – long length and Ugg style boots are not safe/comfortable/waterproof at school. Please be wary of slip on shoes, especially ballet style girls’ shoes that do not stay on well when running and cause accidents.
• Trainers must not be worn out of PE lessons.

Outdoor Clothing

We do not specify any particular outdoor coat, hat, scarf, wellies or gloves. Please ensure that all outdoor clothing your child uses in school is named.

PE Kit & Forest School

Please check your class PE days and arrive to school in your kit as listed below.

• Plain navy shorts/joggers/legging
• Plain white/navy t-shirt
• Plain trainers
• Navy school sweatshirt or plain navy hoodie
• No jewellery
• No branded items

If your child is taking part in Forest School sessions, they should come to school in their PE uniform and in addition bring:

• Wellies
• Plain black or navy waterproofs
• Hat and gloves as appropriate

Hair

• Long hair should be tied back at all times for hygiene and safety reasons.
• Simple hair bands and clips only. No party/fashion clips, bands, extensions or colours. No large/Jojo style bows
• Hair style and colour must be appropriate for school. Extremes of fashion in length, style, colour, and shaved grooves and patterns, should be avoided during term time.

Jewellery and Valuables

• Jewellery should not be worn at school (including wristbands and bracelets). This is because it can cause potential damage to both the wearer and other children, particularly during sporting activities. This includes the wearing of all fitness trackers.
• If ears are pierced pupils may wear one set of plain, flat studs. 
• Earrings should be removed on PE and swimming days or if they cannot be removed, please tape over your child’s ears with micropore tape. If your child is old enough to do it themselves, please provide tape in their school bag.
• A very simple smartwatch, which is not capable of recording, messaging, gaming and does not contain a camera, may be worn to encourage an active lifestyle.  
• Pupils should not bring valuables to school, or toys from home.
• If an older pupil is walking home alone (please put the permission to walk home alone in writing and give it to the office) and you want them to have a mobile phone for safety reasons, this must be handed in to the teacher every morning.
