REMINDER OF PE UNIFORM EXPECTATIONS - MARCH 2025
In the approach to the summer months, we wanted to remind parents, carers and students that we have moved to a compulsory PE short, for all students. This is with the aim to standardise and smarten our school PE kit. The Willingdon Community School shorts are available to purchase on ParentPay. (Initial communication regarding this was circulated in July 2024). Any other shorts or skort are no longer permitted as part of the PE kit. If students do not wish to wear the compulsory PE shorts, they should continue to wear their plain black leggings or joggers.
In addition to this, a reminder that non-uniform tracksuit tops, hooded tops and plain black jumpers, including those with a V neck, are not permitted as part of the school PE kit and will be confiscated if worn. If students are cold on PE days, the options for layers are:
- Willingdon Community School logoed sweatshirt
- Willingdon Community School logoed zip top
- Plain black or white long sleeved base layer underneath their PE t-shirt
- Their blazer, which can then be removed once they arrive to their PE lesson.
We are very proud of the engagement we have in our PE lessons, and do believe part of this is due to removing the barrier of having to change out of uniform. For this to remain in the place, the PE kit policy must be followed.
