  • Red checked dress that can be worn in the summer
  • Grey or red tights
  • Black or white socks
  • Sensible black shoes or plain black trainers – these must be plain black, they must have no other colour in the footwear than black. 
  • Some children choose to wear a red fleece with the school logo for use in the colder weather

Children should come to school in their sports clothes on the day of their P.E lesson.  Our PE uniform is:

Reception P.E. kit

In the colder weather, children are allowed to wear:

  • A plain coloured tshirt to match the colour of their new house (Reception white t-shirt)

Pre-School children do not need to wear a PE Kit.

PE days will be shared at the beginning of each term.

Swimming

Children in Years 3 & 4 will have swimming lessons as part of the curriculum, this will take place in June for the 2024/2025 academic year. 

Bags in school

Your child will need a ‘Book Bag’ to carry their reading books and letters to and from school. Please do not send in other bags such as rucksacks as we have limited space.

  • We recommend a red Hollyfast book bag for Pre-School to Year 5, which can be bought from the school office from September 2024.  Book bags and Uniform can be purchased from Andy Blair School Wear as well as Cat Ballou in the City Centre.  A plain red book bag will be sufficient.
  • If your child needs a further bag to carrier their lunch and water bottle, we ask that the bags are small enough to fit in a small locker.  We are implementing lockers across the school over the next 2 years, starting in Years 3 and 4. Backpacks are not suitable for pegs or lockers.

It is important that all your child’s belongings are clearly labelled and have your child’s name as items can be misplaced.

  • The only jewellery permitted in school are stud earrings if children have pierced ears or a religious item of jewellery
  • Watches may be worn, but the school cannot accept responsibility for them. Any smartwatch with a camera function, cannot be worn to school for safeguarding purposes. 
  • Hair accessories should be plain red, white or black e.g. headbands, bobbles, scrunchies.
  • Make-up or nail varnish is not allowed
