Changes to PE Kit from October 12th 2020

In order to offer the PE curriculum under the Covid-19 restrictions, students have been doing PE in their uniform. From Monday 12th October this has changed. Students will need to wear their PE kit to school on the days that they have a PE lesson. They will remain in their PE kit all day.

Students must wear the correct Radclyffe School PE kit:

•Red Radclyffe polo shirt or t-shirt
•Black Radclyffe tracksuit top or sweat top
•Plain black shorts or tracksuit bottoms (boys and girls)
•Plain black lycra (not cotton) sports leggings (girls)
•Trainers

As always, students are not allowed to wear hooded tops, non PE kit sweatshirts, or clothing with large or offensive logos. Also students should not wear high top trainers, basketball boots or plimsolls. Logos on the plain black tracksuit bottoms should be small.

In other lessons on the days they have PE, students are required to wear their blazer over the top of the PE kit. If they chose to wear shorts for PE, they should wear tracksuit trousers over the top at all other times during the day.

If for any reason students do not have the correct PE kit they should wear their full uniform. If students come to school in non-PE kit items parents will be contacted to get the issue resolved immediately.

School Bags

A school bag is essential and all students are expected to bring one to school each day.

Jewellery

An inexpensive wrist watch is the only item of jewellery allowed. Ear-rings, ear and nose studs, chains, bracelets and finger rings are not allowed and if worn by students will be confiscated.
