Uniform
The children are encouraged to wear school uniform as it promotes a feeling of identity and pride in the school.
West Norfolk Academies Trust believes that uniforms are an important element in nurturing a sense of identity and responsibility.
All Trust academies have a uniform which is accessible to all pupils and their families and which represents value for money. The Trust and its academies are committed to supporting families experiencing hardship to ensure that all pupils can comply with their individual academy’s Uniform Procedures. If you would like further information on support please contact the office or speak with your child's teacher.

Additional Items
If you would like to include an old t-shirt or shirt for children to wear during art projects in order to protect their uniforms this is welcomed.
Can we please ask that children are dressed properly for the weather. If it is cold and wet please supply your child with a warm coat and wellies.
In the summer we recommend children have a hat and have sun cream applied BEFORE they come to school.
Expectations
We expect all pupils to comply with this uniform policy. Any pupil who falls short of these requirements will be advised of this fact by their class teacher and given the opportunity to improve. Continued failure to complete will be brought to the attention of the senior leadership team.
Jewellery & Make Up
Stud earrings and watches are the only form of jewellery permitted to be worn at school. Stud earrings should be removed or covered with tape for PE. Make up and nail polish is not permitted to be worn.
Where to buy School Uniforms
When looking for our uniform supplier, cost and value for money was the most important consideration. Branded school uniform can be purchased from Minuteman Press (Kings Lynn). Non-branded items of uniform can also be bought from most major stores and supermarkets at competitive prices.

Each child has the use of a school locker in which to store their belongings. Please note that large sports bags may not be brought into school as the cloakroom and locker space is inadequate for the storage of such large items.
We do not allow the wearing of jewellery (for reasons of health & safety), with the exception of plain studs in pierced ears or watches. Children must remove all jewellery before physical exercise. Ear-rings can be taped for P.E. (please provide micro-pore tape for this purpose) Please avoid having ears pierced before swimming sessions as children will not be permitted to swim if they are unable to remove earrings. Children are responsible for all their own possessions. Governors do not accept responsibility for losses.
