SCHOOL UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

July 2013

Parents generally seem to prefer the wearing of school uniform and Midsomer Norton uniform is considered smart and distinctive.    The school uniform (with school logo) can be purchased from Norton Sports and Camping, who will be in attendance on the Open Evening, and trousers and skirts are also available in chain stores.    We also have a fair amount of good quality second hand uniform in stock which is sold by the PSG from time to time. School book bags and P.E. bags are available from the School Office.  

We ask parents to uphold our uniform policy and maintain the high standards for which our school is known.    If you have difficulty affording uniform at any time, please see the Head in confidence, as we may be able to help.

All clothing must be named please ~ one brown sweater looks very like another!     Name tape order forms are available from the school office.

Jewellery               Please do not allow children to wear jewellery to School.    This includes rings and ear-rings.    Plain studs are accepted for pierced ears, but not encouraged.  They must be removed for days when your child participates in PE/SWIMMING activities, including dance, games and gymnastics lessons.   If your child has recently pierced ears, please tape them before coming to school.   If your child presents for a lesson wearing earrings, they will be excluded from the lesson.     Teachers cannot remove earrings.

School Bags        It is fashionable for children to bring very large sports bags to school and this causes us major problems.    There is limited space in the cloakrooms, making it difficult to hang both coats and large bags on the pegs.     Please keep bags to a sensible size.    Large bags do not fit in our cloakrooms.

Items marked *** are available from Norton Sports and Camping or Mapac Ltd (online)

ALL CLOTHING MUST BE LABELLED WITH CHILD’S NAME
