All children are expected to wear school uniform and sensible black shoes every day (no open toes please!).
Nursery – Year 4:
The Headteacher shall have the final say in deciding what is acceptable, so when in doubt parents should consult with her before buying items which might not be acceptable or if in doubt about hair style.

- Sensible fitting smart black shoes, (not trainers) or boots. Shoes with a heel are not permitted. These should be suitable for outdoor play and running and should not have open toes - this is a required item

Jewellery
- Small wrist watches may be worn (smart watches are not allowed); however these must be removed for PE.
- Jewellery, make up and nail varnish are not permitted. Smart watches, watches which take photographs/make recordings are not allowed to be worn by children in school.
- There are no specific rules about hair lengths or styles, however, long hair (below collar length) needs to be tied back.
- The over-riding factor is always reasonableness. We are not in favour of children having extreme hairstyles as this serves as a distraction to others and sets the pupil out as being different, which can lead to problems with behaviour and discipline amongst the pupils.
- The Headteacher shall have the final say in deciding what is acceptable, so when in doubt parents should consult with her before buying items which might not be acceptable or if in doubt about hair style.
- Children are also not allowed to bring mobile phones into school. If these are found, they will be removed from the child and kept safely in the school office until an adult can collect them. Please see the school’s Behaviour Policy for further information.
Other

- Children are also asked to bring a warm, waterproof coat and appropriate seasonal clothing such as hats or gloves. These should also be clearly named. Coats can be of any type or colour. We play out in most safe weather conditions. Please sure your child brings a coat every day. Tots to Teams also provide a school fleece and coat for those families who would like one, there is no obligation to purchase this.
- A named water bottle.
- Everything that comes to school needs to be clearly labelled with your child's full name.
