The governors place great importance on the wearing of school uniform. It is a valuable sign that children have pride in their membership of the school and in the team spirit it creates. Furthermore, when pupils are participating in activities away from the school site, it helps to identify children quickly for safety reasons.

The school colours are red, white, grey and black. Shoes should be black and comfortable, correctly fitted please. We prefer that shoes are closed toes, even for sandals. Trainers are not to be worn as everyday footwear. We do not insist on the school logo on every item, so most of the uniform can be purchased from department stores or supermarkets.

Please remember to name all items of uniform to enable your child to identify their own clothing at the end of the school day. School Uniform with a logo can be obtained from Thomas Moore at 102/104, High St, Exeter, EX4 3JB  tel: 01392 255711

Appearance

Children should look smart when wearing their school uniform. Long, shoulder-length hair should be tied back and off the face, particularly during PE lessons and when using some specialist equipment in science, art, food technology, etc. There should also be no extremes of style (e.g.) marks cut into the hair or the use of different colours. Make-up and nail varnish should not be worn.

Jewellery

Children are not allowed to wear jewellery of any description at school, except for watches, earrings and Medic-Alert bracelets. If your child has pierced ears, plain studs must be worn. For health and safety reasons, all children will be requested to remove earrings and other jewellery prior to all P.E. or other sporting activities. The school will not be held responsible for any losses of jewellery. 

Uniform

All clothing must be clearly marked with your child's name. All children should wear a suitable coat during wet or cold weather.
