Presentation

Children should not wear jewellery to school expect small stud earrings.  This need to be removed on PE days or if your child can remove their own earrings, these will be placed in an envelope during PE sessions. If ears have been recently pierced, we will tape these for safety purposes during PE sessions, until they are healed.

In line with health and safety and in order to maintain a smart appearance, hair that is long enough to be tied back, should be.

Any child who is eligible for FSM Pupil Premium will receive one polo shirt, one cardigan or sweatshirt and one PE Kit each academic year.  They will be given a book bag on joining our school.
