Uniform Every child is expected to wear the correct uniform every day. Children should be smart and tidy with shirts tucked in and ties on straight. Please remember to put your child’s name in jumpers so they are not lost. Uniform Checks. If your child is missing a piece of uniform they will on the first occasion be reminded to wear it the next day. On the second occasion it is not correct a slip will be sent home letting the parent know which piece of uniform was missing or incorrect. On the third occasion the class teacher will speak directly to the parent. If it is still incorrect, then a member of the senior leadership team will contact the parent.
PE Kit PE kits should be in school from the first day of a new term and left in school till the end of each half term. All children are required to take part in PE as it is part of the National Curriculum. Schools are expected to teach the children a range of skills to help support them to lead healthy lives. Please make sure all PE KITS ARE LABELLED, as it is hard to locate missing clothing with no names. No jewellery to be worn, so children will need to be able to take earrings out themselves.

We expect every child to have a high expectation for their learning and for their behaviour. We expect every child to take pride in their learning, their school and each other. We expect all children to adhere to the Rights and Responsibilities within school through the Eastbury Values and the British Values.
British values are: Democracy; • The rule of law; • Individual liberty; • Mutual respect; • Tolerance of those with different • faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.
