Our PE days are a Tuesday and a Thursday.
Please can children come to school in their PE kit on PE days. PE clothing consists of a royal blue PE top and shorts/joggers/leggings and plain trainers. Children may wear a school branded PE hoodie or an unbranded navy/black hoodie. Children’s joggers or leggings should also be navy or black. Long hair needs to be tied back and earrings need to be removed (or taped).

Forest School is every Thursday (regardless of any school non uniform days or celebrations). Please come to school wearing PE kit or black unbranded tracksuits with waterproofs/all in ones and wellies in a named carrier bag. No matter the weather, all children should have their arms and legs covered.
