Please check the attached PE timetable to see your child’s PE days in school.

After all of the Covid restrictions, our pupils need to get back into the habit of having a PE kit in school.  In one class today, only half of the class had their PE kit and were able to take part in the PE learning, which is disappointing.  We also have a number of pupils who can’t take part due to having earrings that they can’t take out.

To encourage more pupils to take part in PE, we’ve made a wee change to our PE kit requirements. From Monday 20th February, pupils will be allowed to take PE in shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms with suitable footwear, as usual.

The only time shorts WILL be required is during a Gymnastics block due to the equipment being used by the pupils. We will always let pupils and parents know in advance of any Gymnastics lessons to ensure that shorts are brought into school.

As for earrings, please practice taking earrings out at home so that your child can join in with their class on PE days.

It’s also much handier if PE kit (containing PE shoes) can be left in school so that there’s less chance of pupils forgetting to bring it in. Please label all items and the bags/PE kit will come home each term to be washed.

Thanks for your continued support, and please get in touch for any further information.

We have material and inner pads, and would be grateful if a parent/carer/grandparent could help us make new cushion covers.
