School Uniform
PERSONAL BELONGINGS
Whilst every effort is made to encourage children to look after their personal property, we would like to point out that we cannot be responsible for the loss of valuables. In order to protect items from home being lost or broken at school, the children are asked to leave their toys at home. Mobile phones are not permitted in school.
Items such as school bags, sandwich boxes, clothes, PE items, etc must be clearly marked with your child’s name. There is very little possibility of finding a lost item’s rightful owner amongst so many children unless it is clearly named.
Where we do find items in school that are named, we endeavour to get these back to you as quickly as possible. Items that are not named are stored in the cupboard at the front entrance. At times within the year these will be either donated to children in third world countries or, at times, we will hold an 'almost new' clothes sale. We accept donations of uniform, shoes, Christmas jumpers and coats to support families at Woodlands and to donate to those in need to encourage our children to recycle and reuse.
School Uniform, including PE arrangements
Pupils are encouraged to wear a school jumper with a logo however a royal blue jumper/sweatshirt is acceptable, these are available at most supermarkets.
For non-PE days children should wear: A royal blue jumper; white polo shirt; grey skirt/trousers; black shoes. In the summer we welcome blue checked summer dresses/shorts.
For PE days, children should wear: A navy, non-branded tracksuit with zip jacket; branded Woodlands PE t-shirt; trainers (preferably back, if not neutral colours only).
