CLASS NEWS AND INFORMATION:

P.E. Kit A significant number of children have not had their P.E. kit at school for P.E. lessons recently. Could you please ensure that your child has a full P.E. kit in school (black or navy shorts, white top – not football shirts). During the summer months many P.E. lessons take place outdoors, so suitable footwear is essential (including socks). The timetable at this time of your is more flexible, and it is likely that non-scheduled P.E. lessons may take place. Therefore it is important that your child has a full P.E. kit in school every day.
