• If your child is going to a sports after school club (e.g. Shine), please provide them with a sports kit to wear, rather than asking them to take their PE kit. PE kits should be in school every day and should be left in school. 
• We will be doing PE outside (weather permitting) in Term 5 and 6. Children can wear their school shoes to run around outside or you can provide them with a pair of trainers in their PE kit. 
• As we move into the summer terms, you might be thinking about getting your child some new summer shoes. Please note that our uniform policy is: “Footwear suitable for school activities.  Open toe sandals should not be worn due to health and safety concerns”.
