School Uniform

We are very proud of our uniform and we encourage the children to wear it smartly and respectfully.  Our expectation is that children will come to school dressed appropriately.

Jewellery

We ask children not to wear jewellery in school. If children have pierced ears then plain stud earrings are required. Children should be able to remove earrings independently for PE sessions. If they are not able to do this, then earrings should not be worn on PE days.  

Watches

For safeguarding reasons, watches that connect to the internet, or use wi-fi to phone, message and have video, camera or voice recording facilities, are not allowed in school.  There are plenty of clocks around the school and it is preferred that children do not wear watches.  Class teachers should be made aware if there is a specific need for a child to have a watch. Watches must be removed for PE sessions and are the responsibility of the child.

Hair
Long hair should be tied or fixed back, out of the child’s face.  It is preferable that long hair is plaited or put into a pony tail or bunches to minimise risks of it getting caught.  Hair accessories should conform to our school colours of navy blue.  Fashion accessories are not acceptable for school.  Hair should be tied back for PE sessions as this could present a health and safety risk.

Nails

Nail varnish must not be worn in school. Children will usually be asked to remove it at home, however, if necessary we may ask that the class teacher or office staff remove the nail varnish during the school day. 

Book Bags

Book bags with the school logo are available from My Clothing Ltd.   https://myclothing.com/
