Uniform

In Year 1, children are beginning to take more responsibility for their appearance and belongings. We encourage them to wear the correct school uniform and PE kit with pride as they continue to grow in independence.

Please note:

Only stud earrings are permitted (no other jewellery, except the Sikh Kara).
Smart watches and large hair bows are not allowed.
On PE days, stud earrings should be removed and a sweatband must be worn over a Kara.
Long hair should be tied back or plaited for health and safety reasons.

For full uniform and PE kit guidelines, please click here.

Thank you for your continued support.

PE Days

PE takes place for each class on:

Class	PE Days
Saffron	Wednesday & Friday
Amber	Wednesday & Thursday
Orange	Wednesday & Thursday

Children must come to school dressed in full PE kit on their PE day.
