Most of our uniform can be purchased from local shops and outlets. The blazer, tie and PE t-shirt can be purchased from Brigade.  It can be delivered to school  free of charge or home direct for a small fee.  At school we regularly stock book bags, PE bags and ties.

Footwear

● All children should come to school in black school shoes
● No boots, platforms, high heels, open toe shoes or trainers (other than for PE) are allowed
● Trainers are to be worn for PE / sports and must be worn for these lessons as a health and safety
requirement

Jewellery

should not be worn in school with the exception of:
● one single or pair of ear-ring studs in pierced ears
● small objects of religious significance that can be removed during PE, games and swimming for
health and safety reasons
● A watch can be worn that can be removed during PE, games and swimming for health and safety
reasons. This SHOULD NOT have any phone, camera or recording elements to it
● Medical identification bracelets may be worn by children who have significant medical problems. eg. Diabetes or epilepsy

The school advises parents who wish their children to have their ears pierced to do so at the
beginning of the school summer holidays to allow healing time. Staff will NOT remove children’s
earrings and so jewellery should not be worn on PE days or the child MUST be able to remove their
own jewellery.
