Coats

Please make sure your child has an adequate coat to wear for outdoor activities and playtime every day.

Footwear

Flat shoes in  plain navy or black.  The School Health Service advises that shoes for children should provide adequate support for the children’s growing feet.  Slip on and fashion shoes are not adequate for school.

Socks should be plain white or navy

 

In bad weather Wellingtons or other boots are recommended for outdoor wear.  Please ensure that children have other shoes to wear indoors as boots are not suitable to wear all day. Children can leave their wellington boots in school to wear at break times on the field when it is wet.

Hair, Jewellery & Make Up

No jewellery, (except watches) nail varnish or make up should  be worn in school.  If children have pierced ears, only plain studs (not rings) are acceptable and they need to be removed for P.E. or covered with tape. No hair colours should be worn and long hair should be tied back, in the interests of health and safety, using ribbons etc in school colours. Hair styles should not be extreme in appearance nor of an outrageous fashion or design.
