1 School Uniform The school policy on uniform is designed to enable students to dress appropriately for work at school, without undue cost being involved. Taking pride in their appearance and demonstrating respect for the values of the school is very important to our students. Uniform must be worn by all students whilst in attendance at the school, on the way to and from school and on all school visits unless the executive headteacher has given prior permission to the contrary. The uniform is available from Kayes School Wear Clothes, Red Lion Street, Aylsham: Opening hours: May to September, Mon to Sat 9.30 am pm, Wed 9.30 am pm. October to April, Mon to Sat 9.30 am pm, closed on Wed, telephone ). It is advisable to order uniform in plenty of time before your child starts school or requires replacement items. Badges purchased for blazers bought from other retailers can be obtained from our finance office. The Friends of Aylsham High School also run a shop for the sale of pre-owned items of school uniform. The executive headteacher reserves the right to isolate any student who is wearing any garment which the executive headteacher and senior staff consider unsuitable for school. 1

4 PE KIT The new sports kit, which was introduced in September 2014, is a much higher quality than previous sports kit and we have provided a wider variety of options in terms of shorts, skorts or tracksuit bottoms.

You are, however, welcome to purchase the new branded version if you wish. All kit should be clearly marked with the student s name. General PE information Showers are available and we ask you to provide your son or daughter with a towel on all days when he/she has games or PE, if you wish them to shower. For health and safety purposes we ask that any approved piercings are done at the start of the summer holidays to provide 6 weeks to heal so that they can be removed for PE lessons. Students will have to remove all earrings and body piercings before each PE activity, no matter how recently pierced. Body piercings are against school rules and therefore are not a valid reason for non-participation in PE lessons. Black-soled training shoes must not be worn in the gymnasium or sports hall as they damage the floor. If students cannot participate fully in their PE lesson, they will be expected to get changed and work in a coaching and leadership capacity. Lost property for sports items is located at reception. 7
