Dress Code

We hope all children will wear our school colours, navy and jade. The following items are considered acceptable uniform clothing:

Navy or grey trousers, skirt, pinafore or shorts

Navy or jade polo shirt, polo neck jumper or T–shirt or a white shirt

Navy or jade sweatshirt or cardigan

For PE the uniform is white T–shirt and navy shorts. Plimsolls and a named drawstring bag will be needed for PE. An old shirt or apron should be kept at school for artwork.We appreciate a change of footwear being available in school on wet or muddy days.

The following items are available for purchase from school:

• Polo shirts, sweatshirts, cardigans, T–shirts, all in navy or jade with the school logo.

• White PE T–shirts with the school logo.

All clothing should be clearly named. Lost property will be disposed of each term if not claimed. Jewellery and make up are not appropriate for school. Children with ear or other body piercing may wear sleepers or plain studs. For safety reasons no jewellery is permitted during PE lessons. Staff are not allowed to remove or insert earrings or other studs. Children must be responsible for removing and storing their own jewellery or not wear it on days when PE is scheduled. In exceptional circumstances such as a new piercing, the child should tape over the jewellery e.g. with non–allergic Micropore tape.

School Lunches

We encourage all children to stay for school dinner as we feel it is an important part of their social development. A varied menu of nutritionally balanced meals, with a vegetarian option, is prepared in our school kitchen and served in the main hall. The menus for the week are on display for access by both children and parents. The children are seated at mixed age tables of six or seven with the older children serving the younger. Groupings are changed from time to time.

Payment may be made weekly or per half term in advance. Cheques, payable to Cambridgeshire County Council are preferred. If paying cash, this must be brought in a sealed envelope showing the child’s name and amount enclosed.Weekly payments must be made on a Monday.

Those eligible for free school meals should speak, in confidence, to the Administration Officer or the School Meals’ Administrator.

We appreciate having at least one week’s notice of any change of a child’s lunch arrangements. Whilst we like to encourage children to have school lunches, we regret that we are unable to supply children who usually have packed lunch with a school meal unless 24 hours notice is given, except in unusual circumstances. Payment must be made in advance.

Children bringing a packed lunch to school will be seated together, also in the main hall. Lunch boxes should be stored on the cloakroom shelves above the hooks. Please note that ice packs may be necessary in the summer.
