We have purchased school fleeces and jackets for every child in the school.  They are of a very high quality and the children are very pleased with the new additions. These items will be kept in school and we have a cleaning rota to keep them clean and fresh.

Due to spending an increased amount of time outdoors and because we keep the windows of our classes open to meet covid regulations, we felt the fleeces would be an invaluable extra layer of warmth for the children.

We also bought waterproof, fleece lined jackets for the children to wear outside for either activities with their class or during break or lunch time.  We felt this would be a welcome alternative to their own winter jacket and stop so many parents having to wash jackets on a daily basis!

There is no requirement for your child to wear the school provided items at break or lunch but when they head out on a school activity with their class, everyone will wear the same jacket to help identify our pupils.

Lots of the children opted to wear their new fleece at break today and it was lovely to see so many children taking pride in their school and running around with the Cochrane Castle badge on display!
