PE Uniform
In response to the positive feedback we have received about PE kit on PE days, we have decided to formalise this arrangement for the whole of next year. We would therefore like, to clarify our expectations regarding PE kit as follows:
- Embroidered PE polo shirt
- Embroidered PE hoodie (now compulsory)
- Black tracksuit bottoms, black shorts or black sports leggings.
- Trainers suitable for sport (not necessarily black)
These are the only items that will be accepted, and we expect all students to adhere to this.
Students may also be asked to bring a change of footwear depending on the location of their lesson or the type of activity they are participating in (e.g playing on a muddy field).
