School support for all families:
Please contact us if you have any difficulties ordering uniform or paying for uniform. We will always do our utmost to assist our families in need and will do so very discreetly. Please let us know if you are struggling with anything that helps your child in school.
Examples of Acceptable Footwear:
Shoes are acceptable if they are plain in colour, polishable and with minimal decoration. Essentially, they need to be shoes that can be described as plain, black, flat, sensible school shoes.
Examples of Unacceptable Footwear
Footwear is deemed to be unacceptable if it is any other colour than plain black, overly decorative or heeled. Trainers, boots, pumps or canvas shoes including sports brands or logos are not permitted.
Jewellery and Haircuts
For safety reasons wearing jewellery is limited. Watches may be worn and simple stud earrings. Multiple earrings are not acceptable. Make up and nail varnish are not allowed. During physical activities studs and watches must be removed and the children must be able to manage this themselves.
All long hair i.e. shoulder length or longer, must be tied back in a discreet bobble that matches hair colour or uniform. Red Headbands and clips are permitted and small red/white bows. Hair must not be coloured or shaved but must be clipped back if it obscures the eyes. This policy applies equally to boys and girls.
Note regarding watches: Children are NOT permitted to wear Smart Watches with camera, text, phone functionality.
Other Items
Water bottles: children are ONLY allowed water bottles which are clear/translucent with a sports top which is filled at home with WATER. Children are not permitted juice (except at lunchtime) due to the damage this can cause in the classroom. Only children with medical exceptions are permitted juice outside of lunchtime. We do NOT allow screwtop bottles or large cups with straws due to spillage. Coloured and metal bottles are not allowed as staff must see the contents of all bottles to check for water only. Our school sells permitted water bottles for £1.50. Please ensure that water bottles for classroom use are school-issued or similar.
Mobile Phones: a separate policy exists for mobile phones. Please read this policy before sending your child with a phone.
Watches (including wearable technologies): Children are NOT permitted to wear Smart Watches or any watches or items that have camera, text, phone, internet functionality.
Backpacks: Please ensure your child has a small backpack, as space is limited in school. It is better to have a separate, robust carrier bag for those days when children need to bring more items i.e. Skiing sessions, Forest Schools, Swimming.
Reading Book Bags: Please only have reading books in book bags, remembering to keep drinks bottles separate. Book bags are available from our school office.
Stationery Items: The school provides all stationery required, and there is no need for parents to buy pens, pencils, pencil cases etc.
Toys, Games, Cards etc: Toys and games, including sports equipment, are NOT permitted to be brought in by children, unless explicitly instructed by class teachers for a specific day and purpose.
Sunglasses: are NOT permitted as these can be problematic for younger children. For sunny days, please send your child with a baseball cap. Remember the sun cream too! Even though we are in Rawtenstall, the strange yellow ball does occasionally appear.
