Uniform

Our expectations with regard to school uniform are high.  ALL pupils must look smart and presentable at all times. 

If you are in doubt about an item of clothing and its suitability please consult our list below or look at the images in the link. 

Year group Guidance Managers can also be contacted if you have a query about your son/daughter's school uniform. 

Please label your son/daughter's school clothing with their name.

PE


PE KITS SHOULD BE TAKEN HOME AFTER USE FOR WASHING. PUPILS SHOULD BE REMINDED TO BRING IT TO SCHOOL ON THE APPROPRIATE DAYS AND SHOULD NOT WEAR THEIR DAY CLOTHES FOR PE. 


PE is a core subject and compulsory, if a pupil is unable to participate practically in the lesson they will need to be excused through written communication (note/email). The communication will need to state the reason for being excused and the dates / lessons this is for. Excused pupils will still need their PE kit to change into as they will officiate and/or coach during lessons and therefore be exposed to the weather and underfoot conditions and will therefore need a clean and dry uniform to change into at the end of the lesson.

PE KIT

​Pupils will require the items of kit listed below. Pupils should always bring footwear, even if they have dance / gymnastics in case they need to go outside during the lesson. Pupils who forget their kit regularly will receive escalating sanctions from verbal warnings to after school detentions. Pupils who forget their kit will be provided clean kit to use for the lesson. This kit is single use between washes. If a pupil is unable to bring their clean PE kit in for a one-off lesson, a suitable (dark coloured, small logo) alternative will be permitted.
