🏫 Getting Ready for September – A Helpful Guide for Parents
As we look ahead to the new school year, here’s a quick guide to help all families—whether new or returning—get prepared for a smooth start in September.
👕 Uniform Information
Our school uniform helps foster a sense of community and pride. The required uniform includes:
- Bottoms: Grey or black trousers, shorts, skirts, or dresses.
- Tops: White or red polo shirts.
- Outerwear: Red jumpers or cardigans (plain or with the school logo).
- Footwear: Sensible black school shoes.
If you’d like to purchase uniform items with the school logo, these are available from Brigade: https://www.brigade.uk.com. However, all uniform items can also be purchased from high street retailers such as Tesco, Asda, or Primark.
🏃♂️ PE Kit Requirements
Children must bring their PE kit for each lesson. This includes:
- Black shorts or leggings
- Sports shoes (trainers or plimsolls)
- A t-shirt in their house colour: red, green, blue, or yellow (if possible)
Again, these items can be purchased from any high street shop.
✏️ Stationery
All necessary stationery, including pencil cases and writing equipment, is provided by the school. We kindly ask that children do not bring their own.
🍽️ School Lunches
School lunches can be booked via SchoolGrid: https://schoolgrid.co.uk. We recommend booking lunches by the Sunday before each week to avoid missed bookings and ensure your child has a meal. Late bookings may result in us needing to contact you, and your child may be at risk of not having a lunch.
🌅 Breakfast & After-School Clubs
We offer both Honeycomb Breakfast and After-School Club. These can be booked via your Arbor account. Please book in advance to secure a place, as availability is based on staff-to-child ratios. If you need assistance with booking, feel free to contact the school office.
💧 Water Bottles
Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle to school each day to stay hydrated.
🎒 School Bags
Children should bring a sensibly sized bag that fits comfortably in their individual locker. Oversized bags may not fit and can cause storage issues.
