The governors are responsible for the school’s policy on dress and have an expectation that parents/carers will adopt the following code for their children as:
Denim jeans, football shirts, crop tops, leggings instead of trousers, cycling shorts, fashion scarves, flip flops/’crocs’ or other jelly shoes and shoes with high heels or platforms.
All children must have a change of clothing for PE sessions. Apart from the safely aspect of this we do stress the hygiene importance of changing after exercise as part of our health education policy.
Goggles are not usually permitted during swimming lessons.
In gymnastics and dance lessons, children participate in bare feet, but for other PE activities a change of footwear is required and should be either plimsolls or trainers with a non-marking sole.
For Indoor PE:
For Outdoor PE:
Named Clothing
Each child should have a small bag to keep his/her kit in. Every item of clothing, footwear or other property must be marked with the child’s name – either with sewn in labels or indelible marker pen. This is important and parents should make every effort to ensure that their children’s clothing can be easily identified.
We insist that all watches are removed for physical activities and earrings are removed. This is in line with the County Health and Safety Policy on Jewellery.
Children may cover their earrings for physical activities up to six weeks after having their ears pierced. If you would like your child to have their ears pierced, we would strongly encourage you to arrange for this to happen at the beginning of the summer break. If a child needs to have their ears covered, it is the responsibility of parents/carers to provide the tape and for children to apply the tape themselves. Earrings MUST come out for swimming.
Teachers must not remove or replace earrings. They cannot be responsible for the consequences of removing or replacing earrings. Parents cannot transfer this responsibility to teachers.
School teams will be loaned kit for matches and parents are asked to return it to school as soon as possible. For art/craft activities an apron or old shirt is advisable.
Parents, carers and families are welcome to request any information about our school as a paper copy. Please contact us and we will be happy to help you.
