Information for Parents: Free Second-Hand School Uniforms

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are pleased to inform you that the school provides free second-hand school uniforms to support our families and reduce waste. All items have been gently used and are available at no cost.

How the program works:

• ✔️ Donations: Families may donate clean, good-condition uniforms their children no longer need.

• ✔️ Collection: Parents may collect free uniform items from the school office during office hours or on designated uniform days.

• ✔️ Availability: Sizes and items depend on current donations, so availability may vary.

This free uniform program helps ensure every student has access to appropriate school wear while promoting sustainability within our community.

If you have questions or would like to check availability, please contact the school office.

Thank you for your ongoing support!

It is suggested that girls carry a spare pair of socks in their PE kit should they be wearing tights. For extra-curricular sports clubs such as football or netball, children must bring their PE kit to school on the day of the club.

When swimming, junior children will need a full swimming costume (no bikini’s) or swimming trunks (no Bermuda style shorts.) Children are permitted to wear goggles for swimming if there is a medical reason which has been identified in a letter from parents to school. All girls are expected to wear a swimming hat for lessons.

On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear ANY jewellery in our school.

• Pupils should be well-groomed with clean hair and the whole face visible at all times. Hair should be one natural colour.
• Extreme hairstyles, including unnatural colours, hair extensions or decorative beads are not allowed.
• Severe haircuts, shaven heads (number 2 or less) and decorative designs are not allowed.
• Plain hair accessories such as a navy bobble, navy headband or clip may be worn by girls but large hair accessories such as bows or hair extensions will not be permitted.
• If hair is shoulder length +, it must be worn in a hair bobble at all times.

Only plain, black footwear is permitted in school. There must be no designer labels, logos, or markings on shoes. The school wants all children to grow into healthy adults. We believe that it is dangerous for children to wear shoes with platform soles or high heels in school, so we do not allow this. For health and safety reasons, we do not allow the wearing of boots or wellingtons in school. Staff will accommodate the need for boots in cold weather by allowing children time to change from their shoes for outdoor time.

Trainers are not considered smart and often fall into the ‘fashion’ category of footwear, therefore they are not permitted to be worn inside school. Children may wear them for outdoor games and PE sessions. If children come to school in unsuitable footwear, they will be expected to wear their PE pumps whilst inside the school building. If they do not have their PE pumps, the school will provide them with some to wear, or in the rare case that there are not any spare, the school will call parents to resolve the issue either by taking the child home or providing alternative footwear for them.

Nail Varnish should not be worn by pupils at any time. If a pupil does wear varnish, they will be asked to remove with a product supplied by school. False nails are not permitted.
