The standard of children’s dress at Dove CE Academy is exceptionally high with all children wearing school uniform, some of which can be purchased online http://www.brigadeparents.info/
Uniform consists of grey / black trousers, skirts, dresses or shorts, a white polo shirt, shirt or blouse and a purple school sweatshirt or cardigan. These should be worn with sensible black shoes. Platforms and high heels are not allowed as they are unsafe for children running around in the playground.
All children participate in PE lessons each week and need suitable clothing. PE kit consists of black Shorts / leggings / jogging bottoms, a white T-shirt and a purple sweatshirt / cardigan with trainers. PE kit is available online http://www.brigadeparents.info/ or can be bought at local shops. Children come into school wearing their PE kit on the days they have PE.
All clothes worn to school need to be clearly labelled with your child’s name. In the interest of safety, earrings should be restricted to a single stud in the lower lobe and these should be removed on the days when your child participates in PE.
