Winter Weather: Warm Clothing and Footwear
As we head into he colder months approach, here is a reminder to parents and carers about the expectations for children’s clothing and footwear at school to ensure comfort, safety, and full participation in outdoor activities.
Footwear:
Children should wear sturdy, weather-appropriate footwear such as waterproof boots or trainers. These should be suitable for outdoor learning and play. If a child arrives in footwear that is not appropriate for cold or wet conditions, they may not be able to take part in certain outdoor activities.
Not permitted:
Open-toed shoes, canvas trainers, and footwear with poor grip are not suitable during winter and should not be worn to school.
Clothing:
Please ensure your child comes to school dressed warmly. This includes:
- A coat suitable for cold and wet weather
- Gloves and a hat for outdoor play
- Layers such as jumpers or fleeces under their coat
- Waterproof jacket/coat if rain is forecast and your child will be learning outside would be ideal
Spare items:
You may wish to send a spare pair of socks or gloves in your child’s bag, especially on wet or snowy days.
Thank you for helping us keep all children safe, warm, and ready to learn!
Summer Term: Appropriate Clothing and Footwear
When we head into the summer months, here is a reminder for parents and carers about the expectations for children’s clothing and footwear at school.
Footwear: All children must wear appropriate footwear or trainers suitable for PE and outdoor learning. Unfortunately, if a child arrives in unsuitable footwear, they will not be able to take part in these activities that day.
Not permitted: Flip-flops, backless sandals, Crocs, and shoes with heels should not be worn to school for safety reasons.
Clothing: During warmer weather, please ensure your child wears a top that covers their shoulders.
Sun protection: We recommend applying sunscreen before school and providing a sunhat, especially for younger children, to help protect them during outdoor activities. Please do not send sunscreen bottles into school.
