For summer months we ask all parents to ensure their child has a hat preferably with a neck shield and also has applied sun screen before coming to school.
For winter months we ask all parents to ensure their child has a coat, winter hat, gloves and a scarf.
All children must take part in P.E lessons, if your child is unable to take part due to ill health please inform the school in writing. If your child forgets their P.E kit a letter will be sent home to notify you. We recommend that all children bring in P.E kits on a Monday and take them home again on a Friday to be washed.
At Southcote we have our own swimming pool that all classes use throughout the year. Your child will be told when their swimming slot is. We recommend that all childen bring in their swimming kit on Monday and take it home after their swimming lesson to be washed.
For health and safety reasons children are not allowed to wear jewellery to school. Children are allowed to wear a wrist watch. If your child has had their ears pierced they may wear small plain studs only. Earrings must be removed or taped over during P.E, please supply your child with tape. No make-up or nail varnish is allowed.
We ask that parents ensure sensible hairstyles without colouring or inappropriate motifs. Long hair must be tied back.
