PE Kit and other information
PE kits
Please ensure your child is wearing their PE kits on their PE day to school in Years 2-6. They
do not need to bring school uniform as they are not getting changed in school. In Reception and Year 1
getting changed in/out of their PE kits is a skill that still needs practice so will remain.
If your
child is wearing jogging bottoms or leggings into school or an additional plain PE hoodie/sweatshirt, please
ensure they are navy or royal blue (Elmlea blue is preferred but we know they are hard to find, but navy is
everywhere).

The pale blue
polo shirt is worn as part of the everyday uniform AND for P.E. Hopefully this eliminates the need for
lengthy changing times involving shirt/blouse buttons.
N.B. During the summer months, when girls are
wearing summer dresses, the will need to keep a pale blue polo shirt in their kitbags for P.E.
lessons
P.E. Kitbags containing slip-on plimsolls and royal blue shorts are kept on your child’s
cloakroom peg. Kitbags will be sent home at the end of each term to allow for washing and checking that
plimsolls still fit! Please check plimsolls regularly.
Remember, children will be undressing and dressing
themselves, so make fastenings as easy as possible to manage.
