Option 2 – plain black football-style shorts.

Socks and trainers

All pupils are required to change their socks for PE for hygiene reasons. For hockey and football, they will need plain black football/ hockey socks.

For all other activities where trainers are required, pupils can wear black sports socks.

 Trainers must be suitable to take part in sport. Astro shoes are acceptable.

For health and safety reasons, all pupils will take part in gymnastics in bare feet. If there is a medical issue regarding this, a note must be provided to the PE teacher.

Additional information regarding PE kit policy

All hair below shoulder length should be tied back for health and safety reasons, so pupils are required to bring a hair bobble as part of their PE equipment. It is advisable that, on a PE day, pupils already have their hair tied back.

Jewellery must not be worn for PE. This is advised by the PE Health and Safety Body due to the risk of injury. All earrings and watches must be removed during PE lessons.

Unfit to physically take part in PE

If your child is injured or unwell on their PE day, a note is required to let their PE teacher know the reasons they are unable to take part physically in the lesson. Pupils are expected to still wear their PE kit (they will be given another role within the lesson to continue to support their learning).

Students forgetting kit

If a student forgets to wear their kit on a PE day, they must borrow out of the spare PE stock. Students who forget their PE kit will be given a behaviour point. We request your support in this matter.
