Breakfast Club

During term time, our Breakfast Club runs Monday to Friday from 7.45am and is open to all children in our school from F2 to Year 6. Please note that the gate will shut at 8.05am to give the children plenty of time to eat their breakfast. Each morning the children are able to enjoy a healthy breakfast in a relaxed setting whilst also having to time to participate in a range of engaging activities with other pupils and adults before the school day starts. The club runs until the beginning of the school day at 8.35am, when the children are escorted to their classrooms.


Breakfast Club costs £3.00 per session. All sessions for Breakfast Club are to be booked in advance by calling or emailing the school office. Please ensure you have confirmation and have paid for the session before sending your child to breakfast club.

School Uniform

Every child is expected to come in school uniform each day. The details of our uniform are as follows.

White blouse, grey skirt or grey/black trousers, or grey / black pinafore, white shirt, red cardigan / sweater, black shoes. In summer, children may choose to wear a red and white checked dress or shorts. 

Children should wear black flat heeled shoes, but may change into black plimsolls as an alternative.

Whilst we recognise the desire for children to be fashionable, smart and tidy, some hairstyles can be a distraction in school. We ask for your support in sending your child to school with an acceptable hairstyle.

Nail varnish or false nails are not to be worn in school. 

Please mark all your child's clothing with his/her name. Any items that are misplaced can then be easily returned.

Uniform Policy

The school cannot accept responsibility for personal items at school. There is a box of lost property where misplaced items are placed. If your child brings home the wrong article of clothing by mistake we would appreciate it if you could ensure that it is returned to school at the earliest convenience.

The governors do not consider that tattoo transfers are appropriate in school. Wristwatches are allowed but any other form of jewellery is not permitted. If your child has pierced ears they may wear studs. We suggest that children should wait until the school holidays if parents decide to have their ears pierced.

For hygiene purposes your child will need to have a sports kit in school Monday to Friday - White T-shirt or the colour of their school team, white or black shorts and gym shoes. Junior children will require trainers for use in games lessons outside. These must not be the same footwear as children are wearing for inside use.

Girls might choose to wear a games skirt for games activities or a leotard for gymnastics lessons. Please do not allow your child to bring large sports bags to school, as we cannot offer storage facilities for such large items. Please note that P.E. is a statutory subject and all children must participate.
