Uniform
We have a school uniform, which all children must wear. The PTA also provide a second-hand uniform shop, where uniform can be recycled and sold at a fraction of the cost. This is great for the environment, as well as a cost-effective option. Each item needs to be marked with your child's name. Please see our school prospectus.
Children also need to bring in an old baggy T-shirt to cover themselves during messy activities.
Boys and girls should be clean and smartly presented, including appropriate haircuts. Extreme haircuts, including cuts below grade 1, are not acceptable. This includes hairstyles where the sides are much shorter than the top/back, as well as shaven hair, hair dye, Mohican styles, lines or patterns shaved into the hair. These are not permitted. Hair at shoulder length or longer should be tied back for health and safety reasons (girls and boys). Hair bands and grips should be in school colours. We expect children to take pride in their appearance and represent our school well within the community.
If ears are pierced, only studs may be worn. (These should not be worn on PE and swimming days. Please supply micropore tape if earrings cannot be removed) Children are not permitted to wear any other jewellery.
All children must bring a clearly named water bottle every day (water only – no juice/squash)
IMPORTANT: Children should only bring essential items to school - we do not have much storage space!
Lost Property
All named items that are lost are quickly returned to their owners. Any other lost items are kept in the office and periodically displayed at picking up time. Any unnamed, unclaimed items will then be disposed of. Please feel free to assist your child in claiming their lost property.
