Jumpers, Cardigans and Hoodies

At the beginning of a year the children often forget to collect all their belongings.  Can we please ask that names are put on all items especially on jumpers, cardigans and hoodies as many of the children will remove these items and forget where they have left them.  If there is a name on the item staff will be able to reunite it with the child.  Otherwise any unnamed items will go to lost property as we have no way of telling who they belong to. A permanent Sharpie type marker is best for this as it does not wash off.

 

If your child brings home the wrong item please return it to the school the following school day.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

PE Kit and Jewellery

Children should bring a change of clothes and shoes (that they do not wear outdoors) that are suitable for safely taking part in Physical Education activities. A PE kit in a named bag consisting of T shirt/ shorts/ trainers for PE is recommended  and it is advised that children keep their change of clothes/ shoes at school,  taking them home weekly for washing. When your child is taking part in gymnastics they should wear shorts in order to safely use the equipment.
.
Staff are not allowed to help children put piercings in or out before and after PE. All jewellery, including piercings, is not permitted during PE lessons. If a child is unable to remove piercings, they will go with the class to the gym but will sit at the side watching the lesson doing a quiet activity e.g. read a book, keeping team scores.
