Children in the Reception and Year 1 classes will need to be provided with a pair of Wellington boots, labelled with your child’s name, to be kept in school for use in the outdoor area. Please provide a suitable bag for these, which can be hung on your child’s coat peg.

No jewellery is allowed in school other than small plain stud earrings and watches. These need to be removed by the pupil before PE. We ask too that shoulder length and long hair is tied back for boys and girls.

All items of clothing must be clearly marked with your child’s name. School ties, T-shirts, jumpers, cardigans and water bottles are available to purchase from Penn Sports, 15-17 Kents Hill Road, South Benfleet, Essex, SS7 5PN but items may be purchased elsewhere.
