Uniform

SCHOOL UNIFORM

The wearing of school uniform creates a sense of unity and belonging and also sets an expectation of high standards. We believe that wearing full school uniform results in a positive attitude to work and improved standards of behaviour, both of which are conducive to a high standard of academic achievement.

We aim to reach the highest standards in terms of achievement and behaviour and expect parents’ full support in our uniform policy.

Physical Education is a compulsory subject in the National Curriculum and all children are expected to take part in PE although they may be excused for medical reasons. In this event a note should be sent to the class teacher requesting the child be excused.

For health and safety reasons children need to wear appropriate PE clothes for a Physical Education lesson.

JEWELLERY

With the exception of medi-alert bracelets and necklaces, only watches and discreet studs for pierced ears may be worn. In the interests of the safety of the children, the wearing of any other form of jewellery in school is unacceptable. This includes false nails and nail varnish.

For PE, watches must be removed and all earrings must be removed, earrings can not be taped up. Children are responsible for looking after their own watches and earrings and the school will not be responsible for any loss or damage. If parents are worried about this, the easiest solution is for your child not to wear their watches and or studs on PE days.

PE Kits

The system of children coming into school in PE Kits on PE days works extremely well to ensure maximum lesson time. We realise this means you may need to purchase additional kit to meet the expectations as outlined above however, the cost is kept to a minimum.
