School Uniform
Don't under estimate the value of our school uniform:
1. Our uniform shows that you are part of our school.
2. When you wear our uniform, wear it with pride, it means you are being respectful and demonstrating our schools ethos and mission.
3. Our uniform give students a sense of belonging and creates an identity for our school in the community.
4. Studies have shown school uniform can improve learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a more serious environment, allowing students to perform better academically.
5. Our uniform means students don’t have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn’t so important. There is no competition about being dressed in the latest trend.

All children participate in PE, as this is a mandatory subject of the curriculum and parents should notify the school by letter or personal contact if their child is not participating, for any reason, in a PE or swimming lesson.
Non-participants are involved wherever possible in the lesson by planning and observing and evaluating others’ performance. We are currently looking at providing a bank of work which involves health / fitness / scientific issues for non-participants to complete during PE Lessons.
- If a child forgets his / her kit they must borrow one from school.
- Teaching staff will wear appropriate footwear and clothing.
- If for medical or religious reasons your child cannot wear the recommended PE kit please notify school.
