• All children need to bring a coat to school when the weather is cold for play times.
• No large bags should be bought into school – we encourage all children to use a book bag
• Please make sure that all clothes are labelled.
Swimming
All children will be taken swimming while they are in Year 5. They will need a swimming costume and a towel. If children have long hair they will need to wear a swimming hat.
Swimming – in this instance – is not classed as PE so on swimming days children must be in full uniform.
