Please note additional uniform regulations:

  • All school uniform and additional items should be clearly labelled with your child's name.  
  • Items of jewellery should not be worn in school as they can be easily lost and can be very dangerous during PE and break times. The only exception to this is stud earrings. These must be removed or taped up by the child before taking part in any PE lessons.
  • Make up, nail varnish, tattoos and dyed hair are not permitted.
  • Long hair should be tied up with a suitable band. Please save large hairbands and accessories for sponsored dress up days and special events.

They come in a fantastic range of designs and are great for personalising school uniform, water bottles, bookbags and shoes.

For each order, the school receives a commission, so by ordering these nametags you help to support the school.
