Uniform

We are proud of our school uniform and all children are expected to wear it. We have learned that the wearing of a uniform gives a sense of belonging and pride in our school. Items are available from myclothing.com or School Time in Chatham. School ties can be bought directly from the school, but payment is required first on Schoolcomms.

Uniform and PE kits can be brought from local supermarkets to help minimise costs. The school logo is optional. The school colours are green, grey and white. No designer emblems are permitted on tops. All items of uniform and PE clothing should be clearly and individually named.

Children are expected to come to school clean and tidy. No make-up, false nails or nail varnish should be worn. Any child with long hair must have their hair tied back for school. Only plain hair bands or clips should be worn. Extreme hairstyles i.e. shaved emblems, and Mohican/styles with severe variations in length are not permitted.

PE kits must be stored in separate named bags. PE kits will be kept in school and sent home at the end of each term to be washed.

Coats – The colour of the coat is a parental choice but it should be warm and waterproof during the winter months. 

Jewellery -No jewellery should be worn to school, except stud earrings. Stud earrings will need to be removed for PE lessons and we would recommend that children’s ears are pierced during the summer holiday period. Earrings must be removed before participating in PE lessons (including swimming).  If a child is not able to remove their own earrings parents should do so before school on a PE day. Teachers are not able to remove earrings for children. If there are exceptional circumstances which prevents this from being possible for a defined period of time, parents should provide a letter explaining the reasons and the date from which earrings can be removed.  During this period, a child wearing earrings will not be able to participate in an activity which could result in gaps within their learning.

Children are permitted to wear Medic-Alert bracelets.

From year three children may wear a watch to school.

Water Bottles – All children should bring a bottle of water to school each day to ensure they remain hydrated. Please ensure these are named. Water bottles can be refilled throughout the day if necessary.

Hot Weather – Please apply sun cream to your child before they come to school.
