PE Uniform
Kit Policy
In the interest of health and safety appropriate kit should be worn for PE activities by all pupils. Acceptable kit is that which presents no risk of injury to the wearer or other children.
Indoor Clothing
White T-shirt without buttons
Black shorts
Black pumps
Outdoor Clothing
White T-shirt without buttons
Black shorts or black jogging bottoms
Black jacket
Trainers
*Skorts are not school uniform
It is the teacher’s responsibility to ensure that what the children wear is safe and appropriate and will present no risk of injury to the wearer or other children.
Jewellery
Personal effects including jewellery, piercings, hair slides and watches should be removed for PE lessons in order to establish a safe working environment. Teachers should give verbal reminders to all students and visually monitor the group at the beginning of the lesson. If items cannot be removed, teachers should take action to make the situation safe. This may include adapting an activity in some way. For earrings which cannot be removed, taping may be used to provide some form of protection. It is the teacher’s decision to ensure taping is satisfactory to permit safe participation.
Long Hair
Children and staff with long hair should always ensure it is tied back using a suitably soft item to reduce the risk of entanglement in apparatus and prevent vision being obscured. If children with long hair do not have a bobble, the school will provide one.
Failure to produce appropriate kit
Children who do not have appropriate kit in school will be able to borrow some from school. Each year group will have a box of spare shorts, T-shirts and pumps that can be used in these situations. Parents should be informed that their child did not have appropriate kit.
Local Partnerships
Working in partnership to make PE and sports a thoroughly memorable and meaningful experience for all of our pupils.
