All items of clothing, especially P.E. kit and coats, should be clearly marked with the child’s name. All pupils (boys and girls) with shoulder-length hair must tie it back neatly for school, using appropriate hair accessories e.g. a plain hair bobble, a simple hairband, scrunchie or bow in black, grey, red or white or red/white checked.

PE Kit
A plain white T-shirt, plain black shorts or leggings and trainers, suitable for indoor activities are required. In colder weather plain black tracksuit, sweatshirt and trainers are necessary for outdoor activities, bare feet for indoor activities. We do not use plimsolls as these do not support children’s feet. All children must change their clothing and footwear for P.E. A named bag for P.E. kit is required.
