OUTERWEAR

In winter, children need a warm waterproof school coat.  Denim, leather or fur jackets are not considered suitable for school.  In summer an anorak, cagoule or similar should be brought to school when the weather is unsettled.

FOOTWEAR

Shoes should be suitable for school wear enabling your child to play safely at playtimes.  Children should not wear trainers or boots to school.

• Winter - flat, plain style black shoes with no coloured stitching
• Summer - flat, black shoes or sandals (open toed sandals and sling backed shoes are not acceptable).  Please ensure toes are protected.

Children may wear boots or wellingtons to school on wet and snowy days but must change into their school shoes when they arrive inside the building.  Again please ensure all care clearly labelled with your child's name.

BOOKBAGS

• Book Bags ** with the Windmill logo are available from Kitbox and should be used by all children in Reception through to Year 3.  Children in Year 4 onwards may bring in their own rucksack. 
• Please label all bags with your child's name.
• Can we also ask that you limit key-rings and toys on book bags to one only.  We know this helps to identify your child's bag which is really helpful but several toys is not necessary and can cause issues between the children and is distracting for them.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

• Shoulder length hair should, for safety and hygiene reasons, be tied back from the face.  Hair accessories should be plain in style and in school colours.  Hair gel, nail varnish, temporary tattoos etc should not be worn to school.  Patterns should not be shaved into hair.
• No jewellery should be worn to school.  If children have pierced ears only plain metal studs should be worn, no earrings of any other kind are allowed.  Studs must be removed during all PE lessons, children are expected to remove their own earrings and will be responsible for them, it is preferable not to wear earrings on PE days. 
• A small watch may be worn if your child can tell the time.  If jewellery needs to be worn for religious reasons you must discuss this with the Executive Head Teacher / Assistant Head Teacher.
• Sunglasses are not permitted at school unless they are prescription sunglasses.  If your child comes to school in sunglasses please take them home with you.  They tend to get lost or broken at school.  A sun hat with a brim or peak is much more useful.

Many thanks for your cooperation in these matters.  We want our children to be smart in their uniforms and wear it with pride.
