OUTDOOR LEARNING: Years R – Year 6

For our outdoor sessions the children will need suitable clothes and footwear. They will need ready for September:

A pair of wellies
Waterproof trousers to go over the top of their uniform
Waterproof jacket to go over the top of their uniform
Gloves/ hat as the weather gets colder

Please note these will get muddy/ wet as we will be engaging in lots of active tasks in all weathers- so they do need to be waterproof! Being outside is so important for our mental and physical wellbeing and we link the learning to our curriculum. It is a wonderful opportunity for ALL our children.

Jewellery

If earrings are worn, these must be plain flat studs and restricted to one only in each ear lobe. Hooped earrings are not permitted for health and safety reasons. Earrings must be removed / taped over during PE and the children must provide their own tape / plasters. No member of staff is allowed to remove earrings. No facial piercing is allowed.
Children are permitted to wear a wrist watch (no Smart Technology) but the school takes no responsibility if the item is lost or broken. Bracelets and necklaces are not permitted.
If, for religious reasons, jewellery must be worn, this should initially be discussed and agreed with the Headteacher.

Hair

All children with long hair, must ensure that it is tied back at all times and particularly for PE. The school strongly discourages children coming into school with ‘extremes’ of hair styles/hair colours – whilst we fully appreciate children want to follow fashion trends, this is not appropriate for school. The school values the support and understanding of parents on this issue.

Make up is not permitted in school unless stated by a Medical practitioner for cosmetic purposes. If children arrive wearing makeup they will be asked to remove it.

False nails are prohibited.

Lost property

Naming all items of clothing reduces the risk of items becoming lost! Please name items of children‘s clothing. We do keep lost property for a reasonable period of time, but is often difficult to identify items that are not labelled. If your child has lost something then please check in their classroom first, then check in the lost property box.
