PE Kit

Compulsory PE KIT:

As a minimum, all students should have the College PE polo shirt and navy-blue shorts with logo. The table below indicates which compulsory kit is required for all students and across all year groups. It also shows the optional PE kit; your child may wish to wear throughout the year. Please note that skorts are not suitable for lessons, however they can be worn when representing the college sports teams. Student voice is an integral part of the College, and as a result the college will offer two different styles of shorts. Both have the college logo and either are acceptable within lessons and for extra curricular activities. In addition to this, there is no jewellery to be worn in PE lessons as per the College non-negotiables, which allows students to be ready to learn at the start of lessons. This does include studded earrings.

Mouthguards: are essential for body contact sports such as rugby and hockey. Properly made they provide protection for the teeth and soft tissues and help prevent concussion. Mouthguards should be custom made from accurate upper and lower impressions of the mouth.

Base layers: In cold weather, students may choose to wear a base layer technical top underneath their royal blue PE top if they wish to. The base layer must match the colour of their PE top. These base layer must be plain and black or navy in colour.

Hair, nails & jewellery:  All long hair (regardless of gender or ethnicity) must be tied back with a suitable soft item to prevent entanglement in apparatus and to prevent  vision being obscured. Nails need to be sufficiently short to prevent injury to self and others. This follows the Association for Physical Education guidance. No jewellery can be worn during PE, including studded earrings. The use of tape or retainers for piercings is not permitted. All piercings must be removed for lessons.
