School uniform
Each pupil attending school will be provided with a blue school logo T-shirt. We ask that children attend school in comfortable clothing such as joggers and leggings. Jeans are not permitted as we spend lots of time learning outside and wet jeans become very heavy and difficult to get off! Clothes may become dirty during messy play activities so we ask that children don’t wear expensive clothes. Coats and jackets are needed daily for outdoor play. We do ask that pupils have spare clothes and when they are attending trips and visits that they have appropriate clothing and footwear for the visit type.
