Uniform
.
Items of uniform can be
bought from local stockists.
The choice is from:
Trousers/skirt black or grey
School polo shirt gold or white
School sweatshirt black or burgundy
School fleece black or burgundy
Note: very few pupils wear
blazers
On display at the office are
samples of our school sweatshirts and polo shirts. This practical form of dress
is ideal and also helps the children to identify with their school. Details
about this and how to order sweatshirts etc. can be obtained from the school
secretary.
For physical education all
children need gym shoes or trainers, shorts and a tee shirt. Simple and easy to
change clothes are best for infants. Football strips or colours are not
permitted.
N.B. for safety reasons
children are not allowed to wear jewellery of any kind while participating in
physical activities. If earrings cannot be removed please make sure that each
earring is taped on P.E. days.
An old shirt or overall is
advisable for Art and Craft and children should have soft footwear for
classroom use.
It is very helpful if all
clothes are clearly marked with the child’s name.
We would prefer that your
child did not come to school with belongings of value. If valuables are lost or
damaged, the result may be unhappiness and distress.
The Authority operates a
scheme of provision to ensure that a pupil is sufficiently and suitably clad to
take full advantage of the education provided. Families in receipt of Income
Support, Income-based Job Seekers allowance or Working Families tax credit will
automatically qualify for such a scheme. Other cases will be determined
according to the personal circumstances of the family. Parents who wish to
apply for assistance should complete an application form which is available
from the school.
