School Uniform Policy

PE/Games

Each year group will have two PE lessons a week: one taught by FACE, our external PE providers and one taught by the class teacher.  Please note that Forest School learning counts as one of the slots, meaning during the terms that the year group are having Forest School, they will only have one PE slot.
Children will need to come into school wearing their PE kit on the days that they do PE and will stay in this for the remainder of the day.  As a school, we have found that this maximises the time that the children are being active as opposed to time spent getting changed in the classroom, it also prevents uniform and sports kit getting lost!
Uniform:
  • Trainers (please ensure that these are velcro’d until your child can do up their own shoe laces)
  • blue shorts or skort
  • blue tracksuit bottoms
  • white Great Bedwyn logo’d PE T-shirt (available at monkhouse.com)
  • usual Great Bedwyn jumper
  • usual uniform socks
Please do not allow your child/ren to wear football kits for PE lessons, these do not conform to our uniform policy.
If your child is taking part in a particular sport that might require shin pads, gum shield etc. the class teacher will let you know in advance.
Year 3 go swimming during the Summer Term.  For this they will need to bring in a swimming costume/trunks (any colour), a towel and a hat.  Wetsuits are allowed if you feel your child might get cold in the water.

Second Hand Uniform

Some items of second hand uniform are available, donations (especially sweatshirts) are always welcome.  Parents can advertise their second-hand uniform for sale on the school’s ‘Donation Station’ Whatsapp group.  This is a parent lead group which advertises children’s items for sale to other parents.  All funds raised by the Donation Station are in aid of our school.  If you would like to join this group, please ask your Class Rep to add you.

Valuables

We cannot take responsibility for any jewellery, toys, watches or money brought onto school premises. Please discourage your child from bringing unsuitable toys to school. Jewellery should NOT include bracelets, necklaces or dangling earrings, as these are likely to be a danger in the playground or during PE.
