Physical Education, other clothes & Swimming

Physical Education (and Swimming in Year 3) are part of the curriculum and the children are required to attend these sessions.

For PE, we ask that you provide a bag which can be hung up on your child’s peg. There is insufficient space for big backpacks or satchels. Some PE activities will take place in their normal clothes. 



All children should have in their PE bag:

A t-shirt; shorts; trainers/plimsolls, or a track suit for the winter months. Children with long hair (m/f) should also bring in hairbands. 

For Reception and Year 1 also: a spare set of clothes in case children get dirty or wet (underwear, trousers, t-shirt and socks)


The PE bags should go home for washing at the end of each half-term. Please remind your children, as they will otherwise end up in lost property. At this time, please also make sure the clothes still fit, especially the plimsolls/shoes. Do not take the PE bag home during term time, as children without suitable PE clothing may be asked to sit PE out. 



Other items to bring in:

For Reception children, please bring wellies to keep at school with their name on the bottom soles and slippers (with waterproof soles) for indoor use. The school provides an apron for your child to use for art work.  Remember to label everything please. 



For swimming lessons (Year 3) the children need: 


The children will have a session of an hour per class, each class for one term.  You will receive the dates for the swimming lessons, as well as the price,  and any more details at the beginning of term. 

We kindly ask for a voluntary contribution towards the swimming lessons of £127 per child to cover the costs of the bus and the pool hire. Please send you donation by bank transfer to the following:
