School Uniform
We feel that uniform enhances the children’s feelings of belonging to and identifying with the school. It is also cheaper to dress children in uniform than to allow them to dress in their own choice of clothes. Uniform also prevents competition between children about the clothes worn. The uniform includes a wide range of items which cater for all budgets and tastes and can be bought through Mapac, our school uniform supplier, or from many high street shops or supermarkets. For those who may prefer to purchase second hand uniform at very low cost, the school does hold a supply of uniform that is ‘pre-loved’. This can be sourced through regular PFSA sales or by speaking to the school office team. Please note that branded items are not required i.e. the school logo is not compulsory.
If you are facing financial hardship, then please speak with Mrs Jarman, Mrs Brooker, Miss Simmons or Miss Neal, who will be happy to talk to you about options.

General Uniform
Hats
Baseball hats with the school logo are available (these are optional). It is advisable for all children to have a hat in school during the warmer, sunny weather to wear when outdoors.
Footwear
Children are required to wear a sensible pair of black shoes or black trainers for playtime and a pair of black indoor shoes (often plimsolls).
P.E. Clothes
An essential part of a child’s education is the provision of opportunities for good physical development. To take part in apparatus work, movement, dance and games the children should wear P.E. clothing. Children need plain black shorts, a white t-shirt. Depending on the weather, children may wear a tracksuit and trainers for outdoor games lessons.
Jewellery
Jewellery may not be worn in school. The only exceptions are watches, studs for pierced ears, and cultural or religious adornments, which must be removed during lessons involving physical exercise. If such items cannot be removed the individual is not prepared in an acceptably safe way and cannot continue as is, so must take part in modified activity. The school will not accept responsibility for removing or storing studs. Long hair should be tied back for PE and DT activities.
Swimming
During the second half of the summer term, swimwear and a towel will be needed by all children from Year 2 upwards when they go swimming in our own pool.
