We believe that one of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and PE kit, and that it is clean, in good repair and that the child’s name is written on all items.
The school uniform is compulsory and consists of the following items:
Navy, black or grey skirt/pinafore/trousers
Navy or grey cardigan
Navy sweatshirt
Blue or white shirts or polo shirts
Blue gingham check dress for summer
Black or grey trousers/shorts
Navy sweatshirt
Blue or white shirts or polo shirts
Embroidered items of school uniform can be purchased online via www.myclothing.com. All clothes and possessions should be clearly labelled with the child’s name. Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times for school.
For P.E., children require a t-shirt, navy or black shorts and school plimsolls with non-marking (not trainers) - these are essential for indoor activities. In addition, Key Stage 2 children will require trainers or football boots and a track suit for outdoor games in the colder weather. All pupils will be placed in one of our four houses and should wear the appropriate colour t-shirt for PE and games (available embroidered via www.mycloting.com):
Nelson (blue)
Cavell (red)
Walpole (green)
Vancouver (yellow)
Stud earrings (if worn) must be removed or covered with plasters/micropore tape (to be supplied by parents) for all sports activities. No earrings can be worn for swimming.
We stress the need for plimsolls for all children during indoor activities as they enable children to have a better feel of the surface they are travelling along. They are also light and inexpensive. All Key Stage 2 classes swim at some point during the year and it is necessary for the children to have a swimming costume or pair of trunks with a swimming hat and towel. The swimming pool rules specify that girls should wear a one-piece swimming costume and boys wear trunks or short swimming shorts. Again, we do ask that all P.E./games/swimming clothing and footwear are clearly named. P.E. clothing should be placed in a named bag or rucksack (available embroidered via myclothing.com), brought into school on Monday to be available all week, and taken home at the end of each week.
