Sports Kit – sports activities and lessons require t-shirt, jogging bottoms or shorts and trainers.
Wet Weather Gear – We try to get out in every weather, please send in wet weather clothes and wellies so our learners can participate in outdoor learning in every season.
Spare Clothes - please provide a spare change of clothes for class teachers to keep in school
Summer / Winter Additions - please provide sunscreen and sun hat in the summer and suitable winter clothing in the winter (hat, scarves, gloves)

Pen marks are a sign of developing hand-writing skills
Wet clothes are a sign of engaging with surroundings - learning about science and maths
Paint helps to develop creativity
Grass and mud stains show that we have been using outdoor areas and developing physical movement skills – big movements like running and jumping help learners to get better with small movements like writing!
We will always endeavour to protect children’s uniform with protective clothing. Please understand that this may not always be possible depending on the needs of the learner.
