We have developed a school clothes code which we believe benefits the whole school community.  Our code:

• promotes a sense of pride in the school;
• engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
• is practical and smart while allowing for some choice and individuality;
• identifies the children with the school;
• prevents children from coming to school in fashion clothes that could be distracting in class;
• makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
• is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents;
• is designed with health and safety in mind.

Our school colours are navy and red.  Michael Hope is our supplier of navy and red tops with the school logo.  You can order on-line at www.michaelhope.co.uk, or fill in an order form from the office.

Girls’ trousers/dresses/skirts and pinafores should be purchased from a uniform range and should be navy.  For summer, the traditional gingham dresses are a lovely and practical addition to the uniform range.  Socks and tights could be red, navy or white but plain please.

All boys’ trousers and shorts should also be bought from a uniform range and should be navy.  

Excellent quality school clothes in both navy and red are available from stores including Marks and Spencer, Sainsburys, Tesco, Woolworths and Asda, both online with free delivery and in store.

If you wish not to purchase the school clothes available through Michael Hope then polo shirts, T-shirts, fleeces, jumpers, cardigans and sweatshirts need to be either plain red or plain navy.   Tops of all kinds should have no logos other than our school one, and should be one complete block colour without any pattern or decoration, e.g. a red top but which has a big yellow star on the chest would not be part of the code.  Again, there is a wide and cheap choice from many stores including packs of 3 polo shirts for £6.

Year 6 children have the choice to wear either plain red, navy or black tops.  Michael Hope also stocks black logoed tops.  Skirts, pinafores, trousers and shorts should be black or navy and bought from a uniform range as all other year groups.

Eco Monitors are encouraged to wear logoed green tops provided by school as they do now, especially when representing the school.

For health and safety reasons, we need for every child to be wearing robust shoes which are comfortable and practical.  During winter, we advise children to keep NAMED wellies in school, which will be stored on their class wellie rack.   Crocs, heeled shoes and ballet pumps are not appropriate.   We also frequently work outside in the school grounds so there will also be times when teachers ask parents to send in extra warm and waterproof outdoor clothes.

Each child should have a PE kit bag in school - drawstring bags are the best style for hanging on a peg without taking up too much room.  Children need shorts or leggings, a T shirt and daps. 

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT SCHOOL CLOTHES AND YOUR CHILD'S PE KIT AND BAG ARE NAMED.

A group of parents run a quality school clothes second hand stall, in the playground on some Fridays thoughout the year.  For a small donation, parents can stock up on school clothes for fast growing children!
