Our Uniform
We endeavour to ensure that our uniform is as gender neutral as possible. The uniform is as follows:
- Red sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without the school logo)
- Red or white polo shirt (with or without the school logo)
- Grey or black trousers
- Grey or black skirt (in summer, a red and white summer dress may be worn)
- Black school shoes or plain black trainers
- Grey, black or white socks
- Grey or black tights
- Book bag (with or without the school logo)
Other types of trainers, open-toed sandals and large, thick boots are not considered suitable footwear for school. High heels are not permitted: sensible, plain black shoes/trainers must be worn by both boys and girls. Black jeans and leggings are not permitted in day-to-day uniform.
Our PE Kit
Children are asked to come into school on the day of their PE lesson wearing their PE kit. They can wear it for the full school day. The PE kit is as follows:
- Plain red or white T-shirt (with or without the school logo)
- Red fleece or normal school jumper (with or without the school logo). Hoods are discouraged for health and safety reasons.
- Black or navy tracksuit bottoms or leggings
- Black or navy shorts (in summer)
- Plain, suitable trainers
Plain jogging bottoms and sweatshirts are preferred. However, a small, branded logo is acceptable.
Forest School Clothing
Children are asked to come into school on the day of their Forest School session wearing their Forest School clothing. Arms and legs must be covered to avoid scratches and/or stings. Forest School clothing is as follows:
- Waterproof coat (or waterproof jacket in warmer weather)
- Comfortable tracksuit bottoms or leggings (not shorts)
- Long-sleeved top
- Wellington boots, walking boots or old trainers
- Appropriate hat for the weather
- Scarf and gloves (in colder weather)
Additional items include:
- Waterproof trousers
- Spare socks
- Spare underwear
All items of clothing and footwear must be labelled with the pupil’s name.
Jewellery
The only permitted jewellery that may be worn is:
- One pair of stud earrings (no other piercings are permitted)
- A sensible wristwatch (not a smartwatch)
Jewellery is the responsibility of the pupil and not the school. Lost or damaged items will not be refunded. All jewellery must be removed during practical lessons, for example, PE lessons / swimming lessons. If children cannot remove their own earrings, then this should be done at home on the day of PE.
