Physical Activity and Exercise (PE) Update for Families

Dear Families,

As per Glasgow City Council policy, no jewellery is allowed to be worn during PE lessons, such as gym sessions, dance workshops and swimming lessons. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • bracelets
  • necklaces
  • earrings
  • nose-piercings

All jewellery needs to be removed before taking part in taught physical activities. This rule applies to boys and girls. We recommend that families take children to get ears etc pierced during the Summer break to allow ample healing time, 6 weeks, so that earrings can then be removed for PE. Glasgow’s full Health and Safety document for physical activity can be viewed by scanning the QR code at the bottom of this page.

It is important that pupils come prepared to learn and for PE this requires appropriate clothing. Pupils who are unable to participate in practical PE should still bring their kit to allow them to assist in the lesson by refereeing, keeping scores or assisting with the distribution of equipment. Our PE kit consists of plimsolls/trainers (indoor shoes), a plain t-shirt and plain black shorts. Please also remember that no football colours/strips (regardless of team or country) should be worn, nor should football shoes with studs.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Yours

Miss L Davidson

Headteacher
