| Forest School (All children) | |
| When undertaking forest school sessions, children should come to school wearing their ‘own clothes’ which are weather appropriate. We suggest that children wear clothes that they are allowed to get dirty. Children will also need to wear wellies or something similar to keep their feet dry during the wetter months. Children in Years 3 – 6 will also need to bring their wellies during their ‘lunch time field weeks’ during the wetter months. | |
At Allanson Street Primary School, we are passionate about ensuring that the basic needs of our children are met. One way we do this is by providing support with school uniform to ensure that all children can come to school looking smart and feeling ready to learn.
The school holds a large supply of ‘pre-loved’ school uniforms in our ‘Unicycle’ base. Throughout the year, we collect uniform in good condition which is then made available to any and all families in need. Access to these uniforms is available upon request made to a member of the pastoral team. Where parents / carers are more comfortable approaching a different member of staff, this request will be passed onto the pastoral team on their behalf. Alternatively, where staff can see that children are in need of an item of uniform, this will be offered to parents / carers.
If, after exhausting all cost-free solutions, we are unable to provide a piece of essential uniform to a child whose family is struggling financially and thus unable to purchase one, consideration will be given to purchasing that piece of uniform for the child. This decision to purchase a piece of uniform for a child will be made by the headteacher.
