We believe that, by having a uniform, children arrive ready for their learning as equals. Once in school, each child’s individuality is nurtured. Our school uniform aims to: Celebrate our togetherness and create a sense of community Enable children to represent the school Take account of health and safety needs Be good value for money, hardwearing and practical Reduce arguments about clothing at home Ensuring that our uniform is worn consistently is the shared responsibility of children, parents and staff.

Staying Safe in Hot Weather Ensure that your child is prepared for playtimes and a variety of learning opportunities outdoors during sunny and hot spells. All children in Nursery and Reception need to bring a named sun hat and a named water bottle. Please apply sun cream at home before coming to school (factor 30 minimum and no nut oils due to children and staff with severe allergies). [Named sun cream can remain in school and you can request for children to reapply cream to face arms and legs at lunchtime under the supervision of an adult.] As necessary and depending on the child, we also encourage children in older year groups to Bring a sun hat Keep a water bottle in school Apply sun cream before coming to school Staff will support children by: Reminding them to drink plenty of water and wear hats Providing and highlighting shady areas in playgrounds. Lost Property Rationale As part of Be the Best you can Be! we aim to develop the responsibility children take for their own property and the property of others. We believe that lost property collections need to be regularly emptied, whilst simultaneously allowing items lost very recently a reasonable length of time to be located. How do we do this? We talk to the children about the strategies they use for taking responsibility for their own property and property belonging to others. We also encourage parents and carers to support children to develop this sense of responsibility and label clothing as necessary. Each year group has a designated collection point for lost property. At the end of each half term any remaining lost property will be collected together and put in the colourful cabin in the playground. Children, parents and carers can claim missing items from the cabin during the first two weeks of the next half term. After this period any lost property which has still not been claimed will either be added to our collection of second-hand uniform or be donated to charity.
