Labelling: All pupil’s clothing must be labelled.

Valuables: We cannot accept responsibility for valuables brought to school. Pupils should not wear jewellery of any kind. If your child has pierced ears and earrings have to be worn in school, they must be studs fitted flush to the ear. Other earrings, particularly hooped ones, are very dangerous in school and can result in ripped ears during playtimes or P.E. lessons.

Hairstyles: Long hair should be tied back. Hair fastenings (e.g., bands, clips, bows and ribbons) should be in school colours or neutral (e.g., matching hair colour). Bows and ribbons should be small in size.

Mobile phones: Phones are not permitted. If there is a specific reason why a child should need a phone for after school e.g., walking home from school alone, parents must inform us of this and the phone must be handed into the school office / class teacher. Whilst we will endeavour to keep these valuable items safe, the school cannot take responsibility for phones on site.

Bags: School book bags (£5.00) and P.E. bags (£3.00) can be bought from the school office. As there is limited space for storage, bigger bags are NOT ALLOWED in school except when pupils are carrying specific ‘kit’ e.g., for swimming, football matches etc.

Pre-School: We ask that parents bring in a spare change of clothes that can remain in school in case a pupil gets wet or has an accident. This will remain in school until needed.

Swimming Kit: Pupils attend swimming lessons for one term in Key Stage 2. Parents/carers will receive information about the kit requirements (as required by the swimming pool instructors) prior to the lessons starting. Swimming kit requirements take into account religious beliefs.
