We would like children to wear the following:
- A blue sweatshirt or cardigan (if you would like one with a logo then further information is available at the school office)
- A white polo shirt, white shirt or white blouse
- Grey trousers or tailored shorts, pinafore or skirt
- Grey tights or grey or white socks
- In summer: A blue checked or striped summer dress

- Socks should still be worn with summer uniform
Shoes: Flat, black sensible shoes should be worn to school – not high heels. If trainers are worn they should be black in colour with no adornments.
Jewellery: Stud/small sleeper earrings may be worn, but we request that no other jewellery should be warn unless for religious or medical reasons.
Please label each item of clothing with your child’s name so that lost clothing can be returned quickly to the owner.
Long hair should be tied back please.
PE / Sports Kit
On your child’s allocated PE day, we would like children to come into school wearing their PE kit.
Early Years & Key Stage One
• White T-shirt
• Black Shorts, Jogging bottoms or Leggings
• Blue school jumper or hooded school sweatshirt

Key Stage Two
For Children in Years 3 – 6, the basic information and PE kit are similar to Key Stage One. Extra items needed in Key Stage Two are:
• White or black trainers/Boots suitable for games which are played on grass, weather permitting.
The school policy for PE lessons is based on good health and safety practice. For indoor PE activities (except high-impact games such as basketball) pupils may work in bare feet.
