PLEASE LABEL ALL CLOTHES WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME.

Due to Health and Safety considerations, the Governors have agreed
on the following guidelines:

· School shoes:  These should be sturdy and either black. Heels should not be higher than 2 cm.

· Sandals: These may be worn in summer provided that they are sturdy and closed toe style.

· Plimsolls/Trainers: Parents will need to monitor the growth rate of their child’s feet on a regular basis to ensure that footwear is of an appropriate size at all times.

· Jewellery: Jewellery is not allowed in school, with the exception of the following:

o        Small ear studs only are permissible.
o        Watches may be worn (fitbits are permitted but are the responsibility of the child and parent)

All jewellery needs to be removed during PE lessons. Parents need to ensure that children can remove earrings independently and we would like to remind parents that if you are getting your child’s ears pierced to do this at a time when it will cause least disruption to PE lessons and least distress to the child.

No responsibility can be taken by the school if any jewellery items are lost.
