Children are expected to comply with the uniform requirements. Sweatshirts are expected to have the school logo.

An overall (an old shirt with elasticated cuffs and elastic across the top button is ideal - the shirt is worn back to front).

Swimming    Swimming trunks must be worn by boys for the junior swimming lessons at RAF Brize Norton. Swimming shorts are not allowed by the pool staff. Parents must request a permission form, if a child needs to wear goggles. The pool staff have the final say on whether a child may wear goggles.

The wearing of jewellery, other than wrist watches and stud earrings, is not permitted. It is a County Health and Safety regulation that stud earrings are removed for PE and swimming. If children cannot remove and replace earrings themselves they should not be wearing them to school. Staff are not allowed to handle earrings for Health and Safety reasons.
Many young children, who have their ears pierced, frequently end up with infected ear lobes due to the children not fully understanding the necessary aftercare.

LOST PROPERTY
There is a “Lost Property” box outside Class 2 where parents may look for mislaid garments etc.
  

All clothing should be clearly marked with the child's name
