SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY

The Governors have set a formal school uniform and we strongly encourage children to wear school colours of bottle green and grey. We recommend clothes which young children can manage. School clothing is:

· Bottle green sweatshirt/jumper or cardigan

· White polo shirt

· Grey skirt, grey trousers, grey school shorts or jogging bottoms

· Green and white dress for summer

· White/grey or bottle green socks/tights

· Flat heeled shoes

The Head Teacher is empowered by the Governing Body to prevent the wearing of unsafe or inappropriate items of clothing.

These include:

· Shirts and sweaters which carry slogans or motifs deemed by the Head Teacher to be unsuitable within school.

· Shoes with raised heels or sling backs as these are unsafe on the school site.

· Jewellery, small ear studs may be worn but must be removed for safety reasons on request.

· Please note we do not allow pupils to wear makeup or nail varnish.

Appropriate clothing for Physical Education is as follows – white tee-shirt and bottle green shorts. Socks and pumps with elastic or Velcro (laced pumps are acceptable only if the child can tie laces). Tights must be removed for safety reasons. Trainers may NOT be worn for PE as they are not flexible enough for certain movements. Swimming costume/trunks and a towel will be required for swimming lessons.

Please clearly label EVERY item of clothing your child wears in school.
