PE KIT:
Children from Year 2 upwards (Year 2/3/4/5/6) wear their PE kit to school on days that they have PE. Children in Reception and Year 1 wear uniform to school and change into their PE kit in their classroom on PE days (though Reception do not participate in PE until later in the academic year).
Pre-school and Nursery do not participate in PE and do not need a PE kit.

- Navy blue shorts (can be purchased widely)
- Black pumps for indoor PE (can be purchased widely) that are labelled, brought in a labelled drawstring bag and stored in school (all classes).
- Plain navy blue tracksuit (joggers/leggings and hoodie) with no visible logos (badged and non- badged both acceptable, and can be purchased widely)

- All PE kit brought into school in Reception and Year 1 should be labelled with the child’s name and stored in a drawstring bag, including pumps.
SWIMMING
All items can be purchased widely:
- Swimming trunks or one-piece costume (not a bikini)
- Swimming cap for pupils with long hair
- Large towel
- Goggles (optional)
A one-piece sports hijab (plain black, navy blue or grey, and should be one colour and plain) that does not slip or require tying and is made from flexible, breathable fabric may be changed into for PE lessons. Pupils then change back into their usual hijab after the PE lesson.
It is really important that all articles of school uniform and PE clothing are clearly marked or labelled with your child’s name; it makes tracing lost garments much easier!
We strongly recommend that jewellery is not worn at school at all.
We will not accept responsibility for any loss of articles brought to school.
