a navy cardigan, jumper or fleece
grey, navy or black trousers, skirt or a dress (not jeans)
dark shoes
In the Summer, your child can choose to wear a blue or yellow gingham dress. Sandals are discouraged as they do not offer enough protection when playing in the playground.
Children must not wear jewellery at school due to Health and Safety.
The uniform can be bought online by going to the school website and clicking on the ‘Parents/Carers’ tab.
