• White or light blue polo shirt (ideally with the school logo)
• Grey trousers
• Grey skirt or grey pinafore (in summer, a blue and white gingham summer dress may be worn)

Our PE Kit

All children are asked to come into school on Fridays wearing their PE kit; they can wear it for the full school day. KS2 children may also come to school wearing their PE kit on Tuesdays. KS1 children are asked to wear uniform on Tuesdays and bring their PE kit in a bag to change into, in order to regularly encourage independence in dressing themselves. Parents/carers are responsible for ensuring their child is dressed appropriately for PE.

The PE kit is as follows:

• Light blue PE top (ideally with the school logo) or white Tshirt
• Plain PE shorts or skort (navy or black, no sports logos)
• Navy sweatshirt or navy cardigan (ideally with the school logo)
• Plain joggers or leggings (navy or black, no sports logos)
• Trainers

All items of clothing and footwear must be labelled with the pupil’s name.

Jewellery

The only permitted jewellery that may be worn is:

• Stud earrings (no other piercings are permitted)
• A sensible wristwatch (not a smartwatch)

Jewellery is the responsibility of the pupil and not the school. Lost or damaged items will not be refunded.

All jewellery must be removed during practical lessons, for example, PE lessons / swimming lessons.

If children cannot remove their own earrings, this should be done at home on the day of PE. If children are unable to remove their earrings due to being recently pierced, we ask you to provide sports tape to cover them.

School Bag

School bookbags are recommended for children in KS1 (Beech Class) and school rucksacks for children in KS2 (Hazel Class and Oak Class). These are useful to transport books, lunchbox and water bottles to school each day.

Water Bottle

All children should bring a water bottle into school every day: this can be refilled by children whenever necessary during the day.

Hair Styles

Long hair (past shoulder-length) should be tied up. This is to avoid health and safety risks and ensure that children’s vision is not impeded.

At the headteacher’s discretion, there may be exceptions to the above in extreme circumstances e.g. a pupil may be permitted to cover their hair if they have hair loss / illness etc.

Make-Up

• Only clear nail varnish may be worn
• Children are not allowed to wear make-up
• Pupils wearing make-up will be asked to remove it or, if appropriate, will be sent home to remove it

At the Headteacher’s discretion, there may be exceptions to the above in extreme circumstances e.g. a pupil may be permitted to cover heavy scarring/skin damage

Adverse Weather 

Hot Weather

Everyone working at/attending the school during hot weather conditions should wear sun-safe clothing that covers as much of their skin as possible.

This includes wearing:

• Loose fitting tops
• Sun-safe hats
• Sunglasses with UV protection
• Sunscreen (children must be able to apply this themselves and it must be labelled and handed to the child’s class teacher)

Pupils are not required to wear their jumpers/cardigans during heatwaves.

Pupils not wearing sun-safe clothing/sunscreen may be advised to stay in an area protected from the sun.

During cold weather, pupils should wear scarves, gloves, coats and hats when they are outside.

Additional layers underneath the usual school uniform are accepted.

Where possible, pupils not wearing warm clothing are provided with spare clothing if going outside during break and lunch times.

Labelling

School staff encourage good organisation of clothing and footwear, for example, designated spaces for children to keep belongings, and checking of labels. All pupils’ clothing and footwear must be clearly labelled with their name.

Clothing and footwear are the responsibility of the pupil and not the school.

If a child goes home in another child’s clothing by accident, parents/carers should send the clothing not belonging to them back into school to their child’s class teacher.

Any lost clothing is to be taken to the lost property basket. All lost property is retained for a term and is disposed of if not collected within this time.
