Uniform

Our dress code has been introduced to encourage children’s pride in their appearance and to increase their feeling of belonging to a caring school.

PLEASE NOTE:

We expect all our children to have natural coloured hair.
Jewellery (unless of special religious significance) should not be worn.
Earrings must be removed for PE.
Denim should not be worn.
Trainers are not to be worn.
For health and safety reasons flip flops, sandals, backless shoes should not be worn.
Shoes with heels higher than 2cm are not allowed.

All children need to bring a coat to school when the weather is cold for playtimes.
Please make sure that all clothes are labelled.

We may telephone parents of children wearing unsuitable clothing and ask for appropriate clothes to be brought to school for children to wear.

All children, including nursery, should come to school dressed in accordance with the code below:
