School Uniform

Does the school have a specific uniform?

Yes. We insist upon children wearing school uniform (or school colours) at all times. We

feel that it:

• Helps to keep clothing costs reasonable
• Looks smart and enhances the school
• Gives children a sense of identity and encourages children to be proud of the school and its achievements
• Prepares them for secondary education

Please support us be ensuring that your child comes in uniform every day

Polo shirt/tee shirt                       Plain red

If for some reason you do not wish your child to wear uniform, please write to me to let

me know.

Does my child require a change of footwear for school?

Yes please! We do have a problem with mud mostly during the Autumn and Spring

Terms. However careful they are, children bring it into school and tread in into our

carpeted floors.

We realise that extra footwear costs money but if you can help us with this problem we

would be very grateful. One of our aims is to provide attractive working conditions for

the children.

What happens if my child loses articles of clothing or equipment?

The teacher should first be told. Usually, things do turn up whether in the classroom

surroundings, the cloakroom or in the school’s lost property box. It does help, of course,

if items of clothing are named in some way. Sometimes children do go home with

clothing belonging to others - this is something that is very difficult to prevent. Almost

always the missing article is returned the next day (especially if it is named!). If it is

not, we will do our best to discover where it went.

Please do not allow your child to bring valuable items into school; we

cannot take any responsibility for them.

What other items are needed for school?

A named P.E. bag, P.E. pumps or trainers.
