Parents should ensure that children have outdoor clothing in school e.g. waterproof and/or warm coat, sunhat that is appropriate to the weather and time of year.
All children will spend time outdoors during the school week and should have a separate set of casual/old clothes and wellies in school at all times. These will be used for Forest School.
PE Kit
For good hygiene and safety reasons, it is important that children wear appropriate clothing for PE lessons. Parents are informed what day(s) PE kit will be needed at the start of each year.
PE kit comprises:
- white t-shirt (with logo)
- blue/black shorts
- black daps/trainers
(please check these termly as we find children have often outgrown them)
- children may wear tracksuit trousers in cold weather
Please put your child’s name on ALL articles of clothing. Named property which is found is returned to the owner. We do not take any responsibility for unmarked lost property.
Jewellery
Children should not wear any form of jewellery to school. Children with pierced ears should only wear studs, which must be removed by the child for PE, games or swimming lessons. Watches are the responsibility of the owner.
Hair
For safety reasons and to help concentration, long hair should be tied back securely with a tie of a restrained colour and style. This is for boys and girls.
Children need to bring the following to school each day:
- Book bag
- Their reading book and reading record book
- A named water bottle (available from school) with water (not juice or squash)
- Spelling, times tables books as appropriate

We discourage children from bringing backpacks to school as there is no suitable storage for them.
