Uniform Policy


The Governors expect every child to wear the correct uniform with suitable outer clothing when the weather is wet or cold.


A list of school uniform including P.E. kit is enclosed on a separate sheet.


Both boys and girls must wear black shoes – not trainers. School ties may be bought from the school office. All clothing must be clearly marked with the child’s name.


• Children may not wear jewellery of any sort, other than small, plain ear studs.


• Children are not allowed to bring mobile telephones into school. • Children are discouraged from bringing toys into school.


The school is not responsible if this rule is ignored and accidents or losses occur.


Extra curricular activities and visits


Children have the opportunity to prepare for Confirmation and Holy Communion (according to the practise of the Church of England ) each year.


Peripatetic instrumental teachers come in to school each week to teach a range of musical instruments to groups of children. Parents are asked to contribute towards the cost of these lessons. The children present musical performances with a high standard of singing and playing. It is essential that children practise their instrument at home.


There is a Breakfast club, which is open from 8.00 a.m. Numbers are limited and parents/carers should register with the school office if they are seeking a place at the Breakfast Club. A charge is made for this Club. Some extra sports clubs may be arranged after school.


Absence


Parents/carers must inform the school by letter or telephone call when their child is absent from school. E-mail are not acceptable for informing the school of any absences. Children may only be absent if they are sick or attending medical appointments. Most other absences are unauthorised. Leave of absence for appointments, interviews and religious festivals must be gained before the date of absence. Parents/carers must arrange a meet- ing with the Head Teacher to discuss the request for absence. If extended holidays are taken without permission, the child will be removed from the school roll.

The Governing Body recognises the valuable contribution that a wide range of additional activities including trips, visits, residential experi- ences and other school links can make towards the pupils’ personal and social development. Visits are linked to work done in the classroom, and may be quite close (e.g. the local park, St. Andrew’s Church or High Road) or involve travelling a greater distance by coach or public trans- port (e.g. a museum, exhibition or concert). Steadily rising costs of transport and admission mean that the school has to ask parents/carers to make a contribution towards the costs of trips.. If insufficient con- tributions are forthcoming, the visit may not be able to go ahead. All coaches have seat belts, and children sit one to a seat. The cost of the visit always includes insurance.


During Year 6 children have the opportunity to spend a residential week on the Isle of Wight. This is hugely popular and enjoyable – as well as being educational. The annual Isle of Wight school journey has been run since 1938. Those who attend carry fond memories of this experi- ence through to their adult lives.
