We expect all children to arrive in school clean, tidy and suitably dressed according to the weather.

PLEASE WILL PARENTS ENSURE THAT ALL CLOTHING IS NAMED.
THE RULE IS IF IT COMES OFF; NAME IT!!

School Colours

Children should wear sensible “school” type shoes. NOT TRAINERS worn in dark colours.

Junior pupils may bring trainers into school to wear during play times

Outer clothing, without designer labels should be in plain colours. Coats also need to be waterproof. For this reason, denim jackets are not suitable.

P.E. KIT

Plain blue/black shorts with plain white short-sleeved T-shirt (not Football shirts) should be worn. Leotards may be worn for gymnastics but are not suitable for outdoor games.

Black or white pumps (can be laced-up pumps for older children) should be worn for gymnastics and dance activities. Other physical education activities will require trainer to be worn.

Swimming Kit:

Boys should wear swimming trunks and NOT shorts. Girls should wear a well fitting one piece swimsuit. A towel must be brought in from home. Please check that wet towels and swimsuits are being returned home on the same day.

All junior children go swimming to Droylsden Baths located at Medlock Sports Centre on a rota basis on Friday afternoons. Juniors need to check that they are removing all items from the changing rooms.

HAIR

Hair should be smart, cut/arranged in a conventional style without streaks, bleaches, colouring and tram-lines. Extremes of hairstyle including “sculptured” hair are not permitted. A water based hair gel is permissible with short hair to give a smart appearance. Other gels are not permitted for reasons of safety. With regard for considerations of health and safety as well as practicality, long hair must be tied back or arranged in a style that achieves the same result. Braids with beading are unsafe.

JEWELLERY

No jewellery, including rings, necklaces and bracelets should ever be worn to school.
We insist that no sleepers or studs should ever be worn at school. It is quite possible that children who wish to have their ears pierced to have them ‘done’ at the start of the long summer holidays so that they will have healed fully by the start of the new autumn term. No other body piercing is acceptable, whatever the shape or form. No body tattoos (permanent or transfer) should be worn in school.
A wrist watch may be worn from Year Two onwards, but your child must take responsibility for their safe care.

Make up, including nail varnish, lip salves, body sprays, mouth fresheners, etc., are inappropriate at school.
