The school uniform is simple and can be purchased from the major stores. Children have the option to wear items with or without the school logo.  Should you wish to purchase uniform with the school logo on, these can be ordered from Just Schoolwear.  Second-hand uniform can also be purchased from the PTFA.  Please contact the Main Reception for further details.

Please note that there are specific uniform requirements for Forest School Learning due to Health and Safety requirements.

All orders can be placed and paid for online. Delivery to school is free of charge (term time only). Collection from the shop is free of charge or orders can be delivered to you home for a delivery fee.

Please note as a school we are happy for all PE kit items to also be used on forest school days, so that no unnecessary wear is put on your child's normal, everyday clothes.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL ITEMS BELONGING TO YOUR CHILD ARE LABELLED.

We would stress the need for simple clothes and shoes at first, as children are encouraged to be independent in their dressing as soon as they enter school.  

Children should bring a waterproof coat with a hood during the colder months as they may still go out for break times if it is raining lightly.  During the summer months, we would advise that your child bring a hat to school to protect them from the sun.  You may also wish to send your child with sun cream which they will need to apply themselves.

Long hair will need to be tied up for PE sessions and therefore children with long hair should ensure that they have a bobble in their PE kit (otherwise they will be asked to use an elastic band).  Children are requested to not wear earrings on P.E. days or they will need to be covered (parents are responsible for providing medical tape for the children to cover the earrings themselves).

For Health and Safety reasons we do discourage the wearing of jewellery in school.  A watch may be worn (though Smartwatches are not permitted) and girls may wear stud earrings.  

Shaved hairstyles and colours are not considered suitable for school. It would also be appreciated if gelling was kept to a minimum.  Children with long hair is to be tied up.  If children wish to wear headbands or bows, these should be blue, white, grey and they should be plain and of a sensible size.

Nail varnish should not be worn to school as it is considered unsuitable.

Ravenshead C of E Forest Essentials Kit List 

In order to be able to use our forest all year round, children need to have the appropriate kit – ‘there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing!’ 

To keep children safe, comfortable and prepared, please ensure that they come to school in / with the correct kit on their woods day. If they do not come with the correct clothing and footwear, they will not be able to take part in the session and will remain inside. 

To avoid bites and other injuries, children need to have their legs and arms covered during woods sessions. They should also not be wearing any clothing with any lose parts or dangling bits. This is essential. 

Please be mindful that clothes will get dirty as we do not intend to stay clean!  Children will need a clean pair of shoes to change into when they go back into their classroom.

What to wear to school 

School PE Kit (not clothes of choice): 

• Comfortable trousers  - joggers or leggings, no shorts.
