ANY LEARNERS IN PE KIT ON DAYS THEY DO NOT HAVE PE WILL BE ASKED TO CHANGE INTO SCHOOL UNIFORM​  As we return from the break, we ask parents to check again that learners are wearing the correct uniform in line with our school policy.  Where we are seeing learners that are not wearing uniform in line with our policy, they will spend the day in internal exclusion and parents will be contacted.  All learners have been spoken to today to reiterate the importance of school uniform and to clarify the uniform expectations, so that they have the half term to organise their uniform correctly.
