Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
Happy New Year to you all – we hope you enjoyed a relaxing break over the holiday period.
Footwear reminder
We kindly request that all students wear appropriate footwear for school. A reminder that Ugg boots are not considered suitable footwear.
Shoes should be black leather (or synthetic leather) with heels less than 50mm high and must not be above the ankle bone. Laces should be black. Ankle boots and branded/non-branded leather training shoes are not acceptable. For safety reasons, canvas shoes, beaded slippers, mules, platforms, slingback and open toed shoes are not permitted. In bad weather boots may be worn to and from school but must be changed to shoes when in school. Trainers are not a suitable form of footwear for school.
We thank you for your support in ensuring that your child wears suitable footwear to school each day.
