Physical Education
The school P.E. Kit is compulsory. For indoor P.E., all children require a pair of black pumps, a pair of sensible black shorts and a white tee-shirt plain or inscribed with the academy logo. The P.E. Kit is to be kept at school in a bag (drawstring if possible) during the week. For outdoor P.E. a pair of training shoes, black tracksuit/jogging bottoms and a black sweatshirt is essential. Children involved in swimming lessons will need to provide all in one swimming costume/trunks (bikinis and beach shorts are not allowed), towel and a swimming hat.

Parents should note that Swimming and P.E. is a compulsory part of the curriculum and all children are required to participate every week.  No jewellery can be worn whilst doing physical education or swimming lessons – this includes stud earrings. We advise that they do not wear their studs on these days.  If they have to keep them in, parents/carers should provide plasters to cover them up. Attire for swimming lessons is as follows:

  • Girls: Swimsuit (no bikinis or tankinis)
  • Boys: Fitted swimming shorts. NO baggy beach shorts/surf style shorts

All pupils will need a swim hat and a towel in a bag each week when they swim.
