PE

For PE, preferably a school-badged navy T-shirt (ordered through Uniform Direct) and navy shorts are needed, together with trainers/plimsolls, however a plain coloured t-shirt or shorts can be worn as a substitute. This equipment should be worn to school on given PE days (see class pages). Dark coloured, plain tracksuits may be worn in the winter and a school-badged navy hooded jumper or jacket (ordered through Uniform Direct).  Swimming costumes, trunks or shorts, a swimming hat and towels should be brought to school when needed, and taken home on the day of use.

No Jewellery is permitted, other than a wristwatch and one pair of stud ear-rings (no hoops).  Ear-rings must not be worn on days when the child has PE unless the child can remove their own.

Dyed, shaved and ‘sculptured’ hairstyles are not acceptable; neat and tidy hairstyles are expected, with long hair being tied back Hair accessories should be simple and in keeping with school uniform colours – navy, blue, grey, black or white. Parents are asked in their own interests, to label every item of school clothing with their child’s name.

During competitive sporting events, shin pads must be worn for both hockey and football. It is also recommended that they are worn during after school clubs and practice. Gum shields are also to be worn for hockey.
