Shoes

All children are expected to wear black sensible school shoes. These should have no visible logo and not be easily confused with trainers. Trainers should only be worn for sport.

Swimming

Long hair should be tied up and swim caps are advisable for all children. Girls need to wear a one piece costume and boys need to wear swim shorts. Please could we ask for no boarding shorts to be worn as they constitute a potential health and safety hazard and are not recommended as appropriate swimwear.

Hair

When working in class or in P.E. lessons, long hair must be tied back (or covered with a net or be protected in some other way).

Protective clothing

Protective clothing should be worn when children are working with such hazards as paints and dyes. Parents are strongly advised to provide an old long sleeved short with velcro sewn in the cuffs for this purpose.

Jewellery

The only items of jewellery permitted are watches and studs for those children with pierced ears. Watches should not be worn during P.E. because they may cause injury to the wearer or fellow pupils. The school cannot accept responsibility for any jewellery worn to school.

Lost property: Any clothing left in the lost property bins at the end of term is disposed of. All items of clothing should be clearly marked with your child's name.
