Spare clothes

Spare clothes, including underpants and socks can be left in school in a named bag. Accidents do happen, particularly in the first few days or weeks.

Suitable clothing

Our curriculum involves being outside every day. Therefore, children must come to school wearing suitable clothing to match all weather types. Please ensure your child brings an appropriate coat to school every day. Sunhats are needed during warmer months and hats, scarves and gloves are required when it is colder. Wellington boots can be brought into school and left on your child’s peg. Please make sure all items are named.

Footwear

Children should wear sturdy black shoes.

Black trainers (without logo, stripes or different coloured laces) may be worn, but your child should have a change of shoes for PE.

To encourage independence, we recommend velcro fastening for all shoes and trainers in Foundation Stage.

PE Kit

PE kits should be kept in a drawstring bag and left in school for the week as PE times may vary. We aim to do PE lessons outside, depending on the weather. Therefore, children always need to have suitable PE kit in school.
