PE Kit 

The following PE kit is required. All children will change into PE kit for hygiene reasons. 

• A pair of shorts, navy or black
• A plain white t-shirt or t-shirt with John Clifford logo on
• Trainers 

 All the kit should be clearly named and in a bag (P.E. bags available from the school office) which can be hung on your child’s peg.

We will send the kit home at half term for washing. For safety reasons children are not allowed to wear jewellery during PE, so please make sure that your child leaves all items of jewellery at home.

Outdoor Learning Kit

• Warm clothing
• Black jogging bottoms or leggings
• John Clifford jumper, cardigan or warm plain jumper
• Waterproof coat, trousers or all in one
• Extra layers
• Warm socks
• Hat, scarf, gloves
• Wellies or old trainers (brought to school in a named bag and preferably to be left at school)

All the kit should be clearly named and in a bag which can be hung on your child’s peg.

Children have the opportunity to build dens, explore the mud kitchen, look after our animals and can get messy. Please send in clothes that you do not mind getting messy or wet.

For safety reasons children are not allowed to wear jewellery during Outdoor Learning, so please make sure that your child leaves all items of jewellery at home.

Other Information

Coats
Please send your child to school with a coat every day. The British weather has a habit of changing and a bright, pleasant early morning doesn’t always mean a warm lunchtime or afternoon and the children do spend a considerable amount of time outside. It would be very helpful if you could make sure that the coat is fairly easy to do up and is named with a long loop attached inside so that it can hang up securely on the peg.

Bags
It is essential that your child has a bag to put in any letters, books or words to learn these in to keep them safe and dry. You may like to buy a book bag from the office. Alternatively, please send your child with a book bag every day and place this in the box in the classroom.

Names
Please remember to put your child's name in all of their uniform to avoid it being lost or misplaced!
