Uniform and PE kit

Sportshall changing rooms are back in action.

Dear Parent/Carer

We are pleased to report that work was carried out on the sports hall roof over half term and from tomorrow (28/02/2023) students must revert to coming to school in uniform, bringing their PE kit in with them and getting changed before and after their PE lesson.

Can we please request that students are wearing the correct uniform, both school uniform and BCS PE kit (the correct PE kit is required and only black or blue joggers/leggings are allowed for PE.) 

Thank you as always for your support.

As a reminder, please see our uniform list below (as per our school uniform policy):-

·Black blazer with school logo (purchased only from Classworx or MyClothing.com).
