Additional Information
All clothing must be clearly labelled with the pupil’s name
No coloured hair or trendy hairstyles are allowed. Any boy or girl with long hair (shoulder length) must have it tied back in either a maroon, white or blue headband.
Jewellery must not be brought to school - except for small stud earrings, which must be removed for PE. Long hair should be tied back with only maroon, black or light blue hair bands
Should an emergency occur during the week and school shoes become badly damaged or worn it may become necessary to wear alternative footwear for a day or two until new shoes are purchased. In such a case a note should be sent to the Headteacher.
Most articles of clothing can be bought from any chain store. The school tie, sweatshirt, V necked jumper, polo shirt, hat, book bags (KS1), rucksacks (KS2), scarf and blazers must be purchased from one of the uniform suppliers above.
PE bags/kit should remain in school until half-term, when the items should be washed in readiness for the next half-term’s wear.
Bags
The only bags that pupils are allowed to bring to school are the school PE bag (drawstring) and a school book bag which can be purchased from Rupens School outfitters.
Lost Property
Naming all items of pupil’s clothing reduces the risk of losing them. Please ensure your child’s clothing is clearly labelled with their name.
We do keep lost property in school for a short period of time, but it is often difficult to identify items that are not labelled. If your child has lost something then please check in the lost property box in the Medical room.
