UNIFORM AND P.E. KIT
You should have received an email last week about the launch of our new P.E. kit and the fact that it is now possible to order and pay for uniform through ParentMail. We have also now added a house-coloured sweatshirt and navy joggers to our P.E. uniform, both of which can be purchased from our school uniform shop.
With all the difficulties and changes in place due to Covid-19 this year, we have been very lenient with expectations regarding P.E. kit. However, from September, your child will be expected to wear their proper school P.E. kit to school for 2 days each week. There is a chance that these two days will be consecutive, due to timetabling restrictions, so please keep this in mind when thinking about what your child will need. There is no expectation that the kit gets washed after wearing it for one day. (Remember - under the old system, the kit used to stay in school in a bag for the whole of the half term!) Please also keep in mind that children will only be wearing their school uniform sweatshirt for 3 days each week.
We realise making this change does have a small cost impact on our parents, but we believe purchasing and naming one navy sweatshirt/cardigan and one P.E. sweatshirt will be more than adequate for your child. We have managed to bulk buy these items which has enabled us to keep the costs down.
To order you will need to go into the article you want, select the size and then add to your shopping trolley. Once ordered and paid for, the uniform will be organised by a member of the office staff and handed to your child in school.
We have plenty of new uniform in stock now (although we are still waiting for a delivery of 7/8 and 9/10 joggers) so are happy for parents to order immediately, allowing parents to get prepared for September. Children may, of course, start wearing the new kit as soon as they like, but we will be expecting that they have all the correct items ready for the start of term in September.
