What do all children need?

Children should come to school dressed for the weather and time of year.

It is important that all items are named. We try to reunite children with lost clothes but don't have the space for quantities of lost property to be stored. We don't take responsibility for clothes or other items children mislay in school. 

• Beige or navy sweatshirt or cardigan

• Polo shirt (red, yellow, blue, green, purple or white) 

• A plain black fleece for indoors on cold days and under a coat for the very coldest weather.

• Black, grey or navy trousers, shorts, skirt, culottes or unbranded and plain joggers or leggings. Please note the joggers and leggings being included as school uniform was brought in during the pandemic. It has been popular and so we have kept it on offer. We reserve the right to remove this option for children who do not respect that their joggers and leggings must be plain and without logos (including stripes).

• Flat, plain, shoes (not trainers) or sandals providing good foot support for comfortable play.

• A coat or jacket suitable for the weather at the time of year - note that unless the weather is dire, it is healthier for children to play out than be indoors. A shower proof coat is helpful whenever rain is likely and warm coats, hats and gloves are essential in winter. 

• Hats for sun or cold weather.

And for PE: 

All items should be unbranded and plain (no football kits or fashion sportswear with logos).

• White, navy or black shorts for indoor PE and outside in good weather, 

• Black leggings or joggers for outside in cold weather no branded items or logos).

• A plain white T shirt.

• Black or white pumps / plimsolls / trainers.

• Their beige or navy sweatshirt or cardigan for cold weather outside.

Please remember that part of keeping safe includes staying warm and dressing for the weather. Buccaneer are now offering black fleeces as part of our uniform. Wearing a vest, leggins under trousers will keep you warm in well ventilated classrooms. Having a warm, showerproof coat, sturdy shoes, hat, scarf and gloves will keep us all warm and dry outside.

There is no such bad thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothes. 

HAIR: 

• No gelled or dyed hair.

• Long hair must be tied back with plain bands or slides (no over-sized or sparkly hair decorations e.g. Jo-Jo bows, cat's ears).

SHOES:

• Shoes must be flat, plain and supportive. 

• No heels, ballet-style pumps or flimsy shoes, no trainers (other than for outdoor PE), no backless shoes.  

• Please do not send children to school in overly patterned shoes or ones with with flashing lights, toys or wheelie heels. 

OTHER THINGS:

• Jewellery of any kind (including earrings) is not permitted. If piercing your child's ears, please do so at the start of the Summer holiday so they can be removed in time for the start of school in September. Some religious beliefs require the wearing of a simple piece of jewellery which may not be removed; this is respected.

• No nail varnish or make up. 

• Watches and fit-bits that cannot be used to message via the Internet may be worn unless they become distracting in class.

• We take no responsibility for loss or damage to any personal property brought in from home.
