Uniform
All children are encouraged to wear:
Navy blue or pink sweatshirts or navy blue cardigan with the school badge (available from Sue Knowles); royal blue or white polo shirts (plain from any shop or with school badge from Sue Knowles) and black, grey or navy school skirts or trousers. During the summer, blue or pink gingham dresses may be worn. Children should wear plain white or dark coloured socks or tights and flat black shoes which securely fasten with laces, buckles or velcro. All clothes should clearly be marked with your child’s name.
PE Kit—Please ensure your child has a royal blue T-shirt (plain from any shop or with the school badge from Sue Knowles), black or navy shorts and plain socks. Children should also bring warm clothes suitable for outdoor PE as many PE lessons take place outside. Children should have a suitable change of footwear for PE: black pumps (KS1) or trainers (KS2). All items should be marked with their name and be in a named PE bag. This can be kept at school and taken home at regular intervals to be washed.
Items of uniform with the school badge on are available from Sue Knowles Embroidery Services, see link below for order form or email susan_knowles@sky.com or call 07957771721 for details. Completed order forms can be handed into the school office with a cheque payable to S.Knowles.
As well as the items of uniform mentioned above, Sue Knowles also sells royal blue T-shirts, white polo shirts, PE bags, book bags, summer caps and hoodies and jogging bottoms (for PE only) which have the school badge on. These items can be purchased if parents wish but are not necessary and similar items are available in supermarkets and clothes shops.
Nursery children may wear their own clothes which should be comfortable and suitable for outdoor play. The nursery children may wear the Askwith Nursery purple sweatshirts or the Askwith Nursery purple t-shirt, both are available from Sue Knowles. A spare set of clothes should be kept on their peg in case of accidents.
