September Checklist
Burgundy jumper or cardigan
A light blue polo shirt
Grey trousers/shorts
Checked skirt
Sensible black school shoes.
- P.E kit in a small drawstring bag to be kept in school on your child’s peg
In Reception class an important part of a child's physical development is to be increasingly independent in getting dressed and undressed. This is why for the Autumn term we ask that children bring their PE kits to school, so that they can practise getting ready for their PE sessions.
Dark coloured shorts/leggings/joggers
A light blue t-shirt
A pair of pumps or trainers.
- Spare Clothing - Please could you provide a set of spare labelled clothes inclusive of socks/tights, underwear, leggings/trousers. This can be kept in your child's PE Bag. We do have some spare clothing at school but this can be limited.
- A book bag.
Please bring this to school every day.
- A named water bottle.
This can stay in school. It will be emptied and washed out everyday and filled with fresh water the following day.
- A coat
Your child should bring a coat everyday whatever the weather – we never know when it is going to rain!
Please put your child’s name in everything they bring to school – we don’t want to get things muddled or lost!
