Uniform
A big THANK YOU to all the parents for the fantastic efforts made to send your children to school in a full school uniform with their names in.
After a number of lost jumpers and cardigans and upset parents we would like to remind you to please label your child’s clothes with his or her name, this includes their PE kit. *Black shorts and white T shirt must be worn for PE.
Black shoes are part of our uniform and black pumps for PE. Trainers are not to be worn even if they are Black!!
