Children can wear either summer or winter uniform until half term, after which all children should switch to winter uniform.
Please make sure your child’s uniform is labelled with their name, as it does make it a lot easier to reunite lost items with their owners.
Children are expected to wear smart uniform each day:
- All children should wear their blazers coming to and from school.
- Clean black school shoes (if a child needs to wear trainers, for example where their school shoes have been misplaced, please make the form teacher aware)
- Shirts need to be long enough to tuck in.
- Earrings – one plain stud only. No hoops. The child needs to be able to take the earrings out independently for PE and Games lessons.
- No necklaces.
- Plain wristwatch, no smartwatches to be worn.
- All shoulder length hair tied up with a plain hairband or small school coloured scrunchie or headband.
Whilst the sun is shining, please apply sun cream to your child at home, before the beginning of their session as we will be outside as much as possible. We cannot provide sun cream in school so it is essential that children bring this in themselves.
All PE and Games kit should be brought in to school on a Monday morning and should be taken home for washing at the end of each week. All children require a mouthguard and shin pads for lessons, as well as competitive matches. They will not be allowed to participate in lessons or matches without these items, as this poses significant risk to the children. Children should also have a towel in school.
The Year 7 Team will be conducting a complete kit check at the beginning of term. It is important that the children understand the importance of looking after and organising their own property. Please support this at home, by ensuring your child uses their independence and organisational skills to ensure they have what they need in school each day and take care of their belongings (especially their charged laptops!).
