Uniform

Uniform – picture 1

Uniform isn’t compulsory, but most families and our governors prefer a clear dress code – it gives the school a strong identity and a positive attitude to learning.

  • Our colours: grey trousers, shorts or skirt (or a red and white gingham dress); a white or red shirt, blouse or polo shirt; and a red cardigan, jumper or sweatshirt.
  • Logo uniform is sold online by School Trends and MyClothing. Plain items can be bought from high-street shops, and the office has good-quality pre-loved uniform for a small charge.
  • PE: plain black shorts or leggings, a plain red or white T-shirt and trainers for outdoor games. Plimsolls or soft shoes indoors, especially in winter.
  • Jewellery: none, apart from a watch and stud earrings, which must come out for PE. Smart watches aren’t allowed.
  • Please label everything with your child’s name, especially coats and shoes.

Clubs and wraparound care

Clubs and wraparound care – picture 1
  • School clubs (Reception to Year 6), run by our own staff: 3.30–4.30pm, £4 a session, booked through the School Gateway app. They are held in the ICT suite, so children need to be toilet trained.
  • Little Explorers childcare (Nursery to Year 6), on the school site: 3.30–4.30pm £5, 4.30–5.30pm £5, or 3.30–5.30pm £10. Children can go to a school club until 4.30pm and then join Little Explorers until 5.30pm.

Paying the school: dinner money, trips and clubs are paid online through School Gateway. The first time, choose “New user”, enter the email address and mobile number the school has for you, then type in the PIN code sent to your phone. Please tell the office if your email or mobile number changes.
