School Uniform
We want our children to be proud of their uniform. It should be smart, practical and distinctive, and must also be able to be purchased reasonably.
The knitwear, polo shirts and PE jackets with our school logo can be purchased from Lyndale Sports. This is the only company that have access to our uniform logo that includes our school name.
All staff are expected to wear smart and appropriate clothing in line with our expectations for the children. On days when P.E is being taught it is expected that staff will wear appropriate P.E clothing. Appropriate clothing is also expected for trips out of school and for practical learning activities.

- Umbrellas are not suitable for school.
- For safety reasons, apart from a watch and stud earrings, jewellery is not allowed to be worn in school.
- Hair colour and style should be school appropriate.
All items of school uniform must be clearly marked with your child’s name.
Physical Education
Physical Education is a compulsory part of the school curriculum. It is very important that the children always take part and are dressed appropriately for Health and Safety reasons.
Children will come to school wearing their P.E kit on P.E days. Your child’s class teacher will keep you informed as to which days these will be.
P.E. Kit:
- A royal blue sports top (available from Lyndale Sports) or a white polo shirt
- Navy blue or black shorts/skorts
- White socks
- Trainers that are suitable for sports
- A school PE jacket with logo (available at Lyndale Sports)
Children with stud earrings and wearing watches will be asked to remove them for P.E. sessions. If children are unable to remove their earrings, please arrange for them not to be worn on P.E days. Staff will not be able to remove them or replace them.
If a child’s ears have only just been pierced, a letter needs to be sent to the teacher, and tape provided to cover the earrings for P.E. lessons. This is only acceptable for the first 6 weeks after they have been pierced. Pierced ears are best done in July so that the whole of the summer break is available for possible infections to heal.
Second Hand Uniform Shop
We have a second-hand uniform honesty box which is run by our PTA. Parents often bring us unwanted items in ‘as new’ condition to sell on to other parents. If you need to replace items of uniform, it is always worth checking this out first.
