Uniform Policy

What uniform do I need for my child?

When you join our school, your child will be given a school jumper and tie. We ask that you provide black skirt or trousers, a white shirt, black shoes and black socks. Children need a coat suitable for the season. 

 

Do they need PE (sports) kit?

Yes. The children need black jogging bottoms, shorts or leggings and a white T-shirt. They can wear their school jumper on top. No hoodies or branded clothes are allowed. Sports shoes (trainers) should only be worn on PE days.  Long hair should be tied back for PE sessions. Earrings should not be worn on PE days. Children should wear their PE uniform to school on days when they have PE lessons.
