Uniform

The children lead active lives in School and therefore it is recommended that practical and sensible shoes and clothes are worn. For this reason the Governors strongly recommend clothing that will give the pupils a sense of communal identity along with some practical advantages.

The Governors expect that children wear the school sweatshirt with royal blue (school) polo shirt and dark coloured trousers, shorts (in summer) or a skirt. Sensible footwear is also recommended. It is essential that all children have a separate pair of shoes or slippers to wear inside the school building.

For P.E. all children require blue or black coloured shorts, a white T-shirt and plimsolls in a named bag. For outdoor games, boots or trainers and a change of socks are essential.

A School uniform order form, also available from the School Office, (with the full price list of items of clothing) can be completed and handed in to the School Office. Second hand uniform is available from the Bourn School Association on Friday mornings and at School events.

In wet or snowy weather it is helpful if children can change into wellington boots or old shoes at playtimes.

During the Summer we make full use of our heated outdoor swimming pool, so your child will need a costume, towel and a suitable bag. Armbands are provided by the School. Having taken medical advice we do not allow the use of goggles in the pool. It is also advised that verrucae should be covered. Long hair (both boys’ and girls’) must be tied back or plaited.

It is important that every item of your child’s property is named.
One particular name label producer, Label Planet, will give a donation to the School, should you wish to use them – you can find information about them on the fundraising page.

The wearing of jewellery or nail varnish in School is strongly discouraged. For safety reasons all jewellery must be removed before P.E., Games and swimming lessons. As time is not available for teaching staff to supervise the removal of jewellery, no jewellery including ear studs may worn on the days when children have swimming lessons.
