Expectations
Pupils MUST bring PE kit to ALL PE lessons. If pupils fail to bring kit (or items of kit) they will be expected to wear school spare kit.
Pupils will exchange their planner and tie for any borrowed kit to ensure safe return.
If a pupil is injured or ill, they must present a note from parents/carers. They MUST still bring their PE kit and will be sanctioned if not. They will take a different role in the lesson such as official or coach.
If a pupil is seriously injured and will struggle to change into PE kit they need to take a note to their house office for them to go to the Success Centre rather than changing for PE.
All pupils are expected to wear full school uniform at all times and their appearance should be appropriate to a working environment. Shirts must be tucked in, top buttons fastened and ties tied so that 6 stripes are visible underneath the knot.
Coats are not to be worn around the school building.
Our ties and badges are stocked by Clive Marks at their Schoolwear store.
