Infant School
Uniform
Children wear the school colours of red and black.
- Black trousers, skirts or long shorts.
- White Polo Top.
- Red sweatshirts or cardigans.
Parents/carers should ensure that children wear sensible footwear to school. Platforms, high heels, backless, sling-back styles, flip flops, jelly shoes, fashion boots, should not be worn.
Children must wear socks with all shoes, unless there are exceptional medical circumstances, when medical evidence will be required.
Long hair must be tied back for safety reasons.
We ask that all clothing be clearly labelled with the child’s name as we generate large amounts of ‘lost property’ that we would prefer to return to rightful owners as we have nowhere to store it.
The school dress code allows for diversity in the context of race and culture. If there are any questions about this please feel free to contact the school.
Children must have the following P.E. Kit in school every day:
|
Indoor P.E. is done in bare feet. Children change into shorts and T-shirts, or leggings/jogging bottoms for outdoor work. Please ensure that your child’s P.E. clothes allow him/her to move easily but are not too loose. For outdoor PE children must change their shoes and wear rubber soled shoes (daps).
Jewellery
The wearing of jewellery is not permitted on grounds of Health and Safety. Where families wish for the school to consider allowing a pupil to be able to wear jewellery for religious reasons, this must be agreed with the Headteacher beforehand. In all instances there will be an expectation for the jewellery to be removed for physical activities. If pupils have pierced ears we ask, for safety reasons that these be of a stud type. It is important from a health and safety point of view that these be removed for P.E. activities. Whilst we appreciate there is a period soon after piercing when the studs cannot be removed, we ask parent / carers to show pupils how to do this as soon as possible. Studs can be a health and safety issue in outdoor activities.
Jewellery, including watches, removed for physical activities are to be handed to the class teacher for safekeeping and will be placed in a lockable box for the duration of the lesson. The school will accept no responsibility for the jewellery.
