P.E UNIFORM

Could you please check your children’s P.E

day and ensure they wear the correct P.E

uniform to school on this day.

We are currently experiencing a lot of

children not wearing their PE uniform to

school on their PE days and this does not

help them to reach their full learning potential. The P.E

uniform allows all students to actively participate safely and

confidently.

The P.E uniform consists of a school polo with either pants

or shorts/skort and running shoes that provide good

support and comfort.

Thank you,

The P.E department.
