Uniform

Uniform is worn at Tyntesfield to develop a sense of pride in our school and develops a sense of community and belonging. It identifies the children with our school and it is smart. What a child wears to school reflects their attitude to learning and it portrays our ethos and shared positive values.

It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending our school and we ask that parents please support us in ensuring that their child consistently wears the correct uniform so that standards remain high. In anticipation of your strong support, thank you.

As part of our uniform the PTA provides a book bag for the infants. Each child is given one on entry to our school. The bags are made of durable water repellent polyester and are paid for by PTA funds.

As pupils move from Reception to Year 4, the children are to continue to use our school book bags due to safety concerns in the cloakroom. As pupils move into Years 5&6, they are to provide a small bag/rucksack for their belongings.

PE Kit

PE kits should be brought to school on the first day of each half term and kept in school during term time. Kits will be sent home for washing at the end of each half term

• Black shorts
• Black tracksuit bottoms for winter months (no logos / branding)
• Plain white t-shirt (t-shirts with school logo on are available*)
• Plain maroon sweatshirt for winter months (sweatshirts with school logo on are available*)
• Trainers or pumps (please note NO football boots or studded boots to be worn in PE lessons)

Please can we remind all children and parents that PE is compulsory and all children must participate. We have a ‘spares / lost property’ box of unclaimed PE kit that children will be asked to wear, should they forget the correct kit.

Pupils must keep either a pair of pumps or trainers in school at all times.

Please note:
Reception children wear PE kit from Spring Term onwards (after Christmas)

Jewellery

On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school except for earring studs and watches. During PE and games, we ask for children to remove all items of jewellery. Where it is not possible for the child to remove the jewellery, we ask them to cover them to prevent them from causing injury.
