Children are expected to wear the school uniform. An up-to date list is available, on request, from the school office. Please ensure that all items of uniform and equipment are clearly labelled. All children should comply fully with the uniform standards, which include outdoor coats and school bags. Please check with Mrs Ronan if you have any queries regarding uniform suppliers. 

Hats

Boys and girls are required to wear the school hat from Kindergarten to Year Four.

Jewellery

Small stud earrings and small watches may be worn in school. No other jewellery is allowed to be worn in school. Watches and earrings must be removed for P.E. lessons. As it can be quite difficult for young children to remove their earrings, it may be preferable for you to remove them on P.E. days. In the case of recently fitted earrings, tape should be worm over the earrings. This must be carried out by the parent or child and cannot be carried out by a member of school staff.

Hair

All pupils with shoulder length hair must have it tied back for health and safety reasons. All hair bobbles and head bands must all be in line with the school colours: red, green or black. Boys are expected to keep their hair in a short smart style. We request that all parents check their child’s hair regularly (at least weekly) for head lice using
the wet combing method. Please inform the school office if you find head lice in your child’s hair so that we can notify the other children in the year group.

Equipment

Once in the junior department, children are asked to bring basic items of equipment, e.g. pencil, ruler, eraser, glue-stick, etc. As needs vary between years, please refer to your child’s teacher for the appropriate list.

Mobile phones

Mobile phones and other expensive items, like electronic games, must not be brought into school and we will not accept responsibility for such items lost at school. Such items will be confiscated and only returned to a parent. Should a mobile phone be accidentally brought into school, it should be given to the school office for safe keeping.

Money

All money brought into school must be in an envelope or purse marked with the child’s name, class, amount enclosed and what it is for, i.e. school trips, music lessons etc. This should be handed to the teacher immediately for safe-keeping. Only essential money should ever be brought into school.
