What You Need to Know

Please send your child in their PE kit on the days they do PE. For Y3K this will be on a Wednesday and a Thursday. For Y3Z it will be on a Wednesday and a Friday.

PE kit is a plain white t-shirt with dark trainers or pumps, and blue or black shorts. Plain black or blue tracksuit bottoms may be worn in the winter.
