School Uniform

As part of the policy and Practice of  our school, all children are expected to wear school uniform.

There are many reasons for the governors adopting a uniform dress code:

• Uniform cuts down on expensive fashion rivalries individual pupils and has shown to be effective in reducing bullying.
• Uniform also instils a sense of identification, community and pride in our school among pupils.
• The wearing of school uniform has a marked effect on improving behaviour and standards in schools.

School uniform can be purchased from Y.C. Sports clothing store, 90 Crwys Road, Cathays, Cardiff.

Book bags are available from school. Enquiries should be made to the School Admin Clerk. The wearing of school uniform is compulsory.

P.E. Kit

Apart from the Reception pupils, who wear vest and pants, all children (optional Year 1 and 2) must wear suitable clothing for indoor and outdoor physical education lessons.

A full Kit and Kit bag with the school Logo is available from YC Sports at a very reasonable price.

For PE / dance lessons children should wear white polo or T. Shirt with black or navy elasticated waist shorts/ cycle shorts.

For outdoor games, if it is cold children can wear plain tracksuit jogging bottoms and plain sweatshirt. In addition, some sort of cloth tie bag will be needed in which to store this kit. Please ensure that all kit is clearly marked with the child’s name.

All children will need suitable clothing and footwear for games lessons organised on the playgrounds or the school fields.

Please note no kit with logos/ writing will be allowed.

Hair

As is appropriate with any uniform, hair should be kept neat and well styled with no extreme styles. It should be kept clear of the face and eyes, and if it is long, for reasons of Health & safety, hair must be tied back.

Children's Clothing and Property

Please ensure that all items of clothing and property (e.g. plastic flasks) are clearly labelled with the child's name. Whilst the school strongly encourages children to take responsibility and will within reason ensure that items are not mislaid, the staff at the school cannot be held responsible for your child’s belongings.
