Dear Parent/Carer,
As you know we are constantly reviewing our systems in line with Government guidance and continue to assess how effectively they are working in our school.
We have decided that we will be asking children to attend school in their PE kits on the days they have PE. They will be expected to remain in these kits all day to avoid the need to get changed. Too much learning time was being spent getting classes of children changed whilst maintaining their bubbles.
It is important that children are wearing the correct PE kit as listed here:
- Pupils – Indoor: White t-shirts and dark shorts. Clothing must not be baggy as it can get caught in the equipment. Hair should be tied up and jewellery removed. If ear-rings can’t be taken out, they are to be taped.
- Pupils – Outdoor: Children should have a white T shirt, dark shorts/jogging bottoms, socks and suitable outdoor footwear (trainers). Outdoor PE continues throughout winter months unless there are extreme weather conditions. A dark coloured jumper/hoodie/coat is needed to be worn during the colder months.
PE Days are listed here as a reminder:
Monday Year 2 (outdoor); and Year 5 (indoor)
Tuesday Year 3 (indoor); Reception (outdoor); Year 4 (indoor); and Year 6 (outdoor)
Wednesday Year 3 (outdoor); Den (outdoor)
Thursday Year 4 (outdoor); Reception (indoor); Year 1 (outdoor); and Year 2 (indoor)
Friday Year 1 (indoor); Year 5 (outdoor); Y6 (outdoor/swimming)
Please note that Year 6 have swimming OR outdoor PE on a Friday afternoon. The class doing PE can come in their kit, the swimming group will be expected to come into school wearing school uniform and get changed at the pool.
It is also important that children have a coat with them, as we will still try to get children outside as much as possible.
We thank you for your support and patience during this tricky time.
Miss Cook
Headteacher
