Forgotten kit

Pupils who forget kit can borrow clean kit from the PE department. This will be viewed as failing to turn up to class with appropriate materials. If you forget 3 times, you will be issued with a Behaviour Review. If pupils forget kit they should report to their PE teacher as soon as they enter the PE department.

Inappropriate kit

Pupils who turn up for their PE lesson wearing inappropriate kit (anything not listed above) will be verbally warned and given kit where necessary. If this happens 3 times, a letter will be sent home by the school to notify the parent/ guardian of the issue.

School uniform (jackets/ jumpers/ trousers/ shirts) should not be worn during PE for hygiene reasons.

Jewellery / Hair / Chewing gum

On grounds on health and safety, no jewellery should be worn during PE. Long hair should be tied back and chewing gum placed in the bin at the start of the lesson.
