Updated 10 th January 2019 Our Appearance We are committed to maintaining high standards and believe that a neat and tidy appearance is a factor in helping to establish positive attitudes. A smart uniform is very important; it demonstrates the pride that students take in our school and signals their belonging and commitment to our learning community. Pupils appearance and hair should be smart and reflect the desire to learn.

The earrings must be small and discreet studs in a simple and plain muted colour. All children are expected to remove them for PE and Games or any activities in which there is a degree of physical exuberance. Any child who cannot remove their own earrings should not wear them on the days when their removal is required. If a child chooses to wear earrings, the school cannot accept liability for any injury which occurs assuming the above policy has been faithfully followed.

All children will need a warm coat, hat and gloves in the winter (regulation school coat, hat and scarf for Oak), a sun hat for the summer and wellies and waterproofs as your children will be using their fantastic outdoor areas all year round and not just when it is sunny!!
Lost Property We encourage pupils to take responsibility for their possessions and to respect the property of others. Parents are requested to support their children in this process by clearly labelling all items that come into School. At The Nursery and Early Years site parents should, in the first instance, go to your child s room in search of any mislaid items and speak to the Room Leader/Teacher. Any clothing found astray in the Prep School is put in the lost property bins outside the sports hall changing rooms, in the basket provided in the locker area in the main building, in the box provided in the Chestnut building foyer. Other lost property is taken to the School Office. Children should be encouraged to look in these containers for lost property. Parents can ask the School Office for assistance. At the end of each term all lost property baskets are checked and named lost property is returned to the child s peg or locker. Unnamed lost property is put on display in the dining hall for parents to view on the last day of term after which unclaimed property is donated to charity. Labelling your uniform (Years 1-8) Children do lose things and it makes it much easier to return lost property if a child s name is clearly displayed. All items of uniform must be clearly labelled with cloth name tags. Schoolblazer offers the facility to have newly ordered items of uniform internally labelled (subject to their terms and conditions). Sports kit requires external as well as internal labelling. Children also borrow each others kit so it enables us to identify this quickly and return them! It is the parents responsibility to get this done prior to the start of the school term. Guidance on where to name each individual item of sports kit is shown at the end of this document. A link is also included for ordering name tags. The label background should be navy with the type in magenta.
