Uniform
The way in which the school’s community is dressed is an important factor in helping to create an ordered atmosphere for the school’s aims to be achieved. We hope that all concerned with the school, will dress in a manner that will encourage pride, good standards and a positive image. The school colours are navy, pale blue and grey. We encourage the wearing of uniform and request that all parents support this.

HAIR
Conventional hairstyles and natural hair colours only are acceptable. Grade 1 cuts, tram lines, words and beading are not permitted. Gel should not be noticeable.
Parents are requested for safety and hygiene reasons that long hair is secured back for school, and particularly for P.E. and swimming.
SWIMMING
A one-piece costume or trunks which are not below the knee, a towel and a named plastic bag.
ART AND CRAFT
KS2 children require an overall (old shirt or similar) to protect clothing.
JEWELLERY
Only watches and stud earrings may be worn at school. On the grounds of safety, these must be removed for P.E., this includes games and swimming. Rings, necklaces and bracelets are not to be worn. This policy applies equally to boys and girls.
These items (as with other personal belongings) remain the responsibility of the child at all times. Please do not let your child wear expensive items. The school will not accept responsibility for loss or damage or injury, if a child is unable to remove ear-studs for physical activities.
Other than ears, body piercing is not acceptable.
CLOAKROOM SPACE
The school has very limited space, particularly in cloakrooms. Only a coat and small bag will fit onto coat pegs. Please ensure your child only brings a small bag, just large enough to contain essential items needed for school.
CHILDREN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN POSSESSIONS - PLEASE NAME ALL CLOTHING/SCHOOL ITEMS
