Boys and girls need navy blue shorts, white polo shirts and black plimsolls for PE and essential
warm clothing for outdoor games – for example, navy jogging bottoms may be worn. We
encourage children with long hair to tie it back, particularly for PE lessons.
Jewellery
Children are not allowed to wear jewellery in school. Children who have pierced ears must
only wear plain gold or silver studs. However, in the interests of safety, we prefer that no
earrings are worn. All earrings will need to be covered during PE and swimming lessons.
Medicines
We adhere to Cheshire West and Chester9s guidelines for the administration of medicines.
There are two main sets of circumstances in which requests may be made to the Principal to
deal with the administering of medicines to pupils at school:
A. cases of chronic illness or long-term complaints, such as asthma, diabetes or epilepsy;
and
B. cases where children recovering from a short-term illness are well enough to return
to school but are receiving a course of antibiotics etc.
A form giving the school permission to administer any medication must be completed at the
School Office at the beginning of any treatment.
Inhalers for asthma sufferers must be clearly labelled with the child9s name; they are kept in
the first aid cupboard for KS1 children and on the teacher9s desk for KS2 children. Children
on school trips who need medication may be accompanied by the parent or nominate
somebody to administer the medicine. On KS1 school trips, the first aider will carry the
inhaler. On KS2 trips the children will be responsible for their own inhalers. Special
arrangements are made for diabetics.
