For illustration purposes, please refer to uniform gallery below. All clothing items can be bought from a high street retailer.
It is also essential that the children bring a waterproof coat/jacket, so they will remain dry in the event of wet play.
In colder weather, the need for good ventilation may mean that rooms are cooler. Therefore children should be encouraged to provide layers, which can be added/ taken off as the temperature changes.
In the Summer, sandals may be worn. These should be as plain as possible (not bright colours) and be sturdy and strapped to give support, so that they do not break or slip off when a child is running. Open toed sandals are not permitted. Also during the summer, girls may wear a gingham style dress and boys may wear grey tailored shorts. In KS2, children should change into trainers to play football in the playground. They should change back into school shoes after the break.
