JEANS SHOULD NOT BE WORN IN SCHOOL

Every reasonable care is taken to ensure the safety of clothing and other articles, but the school cannot accept liability in the event of loss or damage.  Please mark your child's clothing and property clearly so that it can be readily identified if mislaid. 

The lost property bins are available to parents for search and rescue before and after school.  At the end of each half term named items will be returned to children but anything unnamed will be recycled.  Bringing toys to school is discouraged unless they are specially required by staff in connection with schoolwork. Toy guns are forbidden.  The wearing of jewellery is not encouraged, as it is hazardous and loss or damage of precious items can cause distress.  Long hair should be tied back and earrings left at home on PE days. Children should not come into school with colour in their hair, wristbands, transfers, trainers or make up.  The uniform helps children to come to school in the right frame of mind for work and promotes a sense of belonging.  Our school uniform supplier is PMG Schoolwear, 01895 809 321, or www.pmgschoolwear.co.uk

Please note that the cloakroom areas cannot accommodate large sports bags and back packs.  It is recommended that children have a book bag to carry books, snacks etc. 

Book bags £4.00, P.E. bags £4.00 and Water bottles £1.00. All available from the School Office.
