Hats should be worn in the summer and sandals may be worn during this time but they should be of a sturdy variety and not a ‘flip flop’ type.
Please remember that your child walks from school to the village hall for lunch and as the weather is unpredictable having a waterproof jacket at school is often very useful.
Fleeces are available with the school logo embroidered for chillier days.
Throughout the winter months your child will need to have a warm coat.
Children in classes 2 and 3 will need in school at all times the following PE kit:
Trainers (all children will require proper trainers rather than plimsolls) Navy or black shorts Pale blue polo shirt (available with the school logo embroidered)
A named PE kit bag which can hang from a hook (a draw string bag is available with the school logo embroidered)
A navy track suit or navy jogging bottoms would be useful for cold weather
Gymnastics and Dance is done in bare feet
Children in class 1 do “Leap for Life” daily and do not require a PE kit except for sports day in the summer term.
SCHOOL BAGS AND DRINKS BOTTLES:
School bags should be of a reasonable size, not too large.
It is recommended that every child has a book bag. This protects reading books travelling to and from school and is also used to send any messages that need to be delivered in hard copy. Navy book bags are available with the school logo embroidered.
Children should have a drinks bottle with a suitable drinking cap for the classroom. Only water will be allowed in the classroom. Suitable drinking bottles are available.
PLEASE ENSURE ALL ITEMS OF CLOTHING ARE CLEARLY MARKED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME
Lost property will be returned to the owner if clearly marked, otherwise items are stored in a box by class 2’s cloakroom.
No jewellery should generally be worn in school, with the exception of a wristwatch and, if ears are pierced small plain studs only which should be covered or removed for PE.
