Please ensure that your child has appropriate clothes for all weather conditions eg: winter – warm waterproof coat, hat, gloves, scarf. Summer – sun hat, apply sunscreen before school, water bottle in school.
Hair Accessories – These should be blue or white cloth hairband or scrunchy (no metal accessories with embellishments). All long hair needs to be tied back.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT EVERY ITEM OF CLOTHING IS CLEARLY MARKED WITH YOUR CHILD’S NAME, INCLUDING SHOES AND WELLIES!
How do I Purchase Second Hand Uniforms?
Currently Fossa sells second hand uniforms at regular intervals – look in the newsletter for the next date. We plan this year to launch an eco shop which will have second hand uniforms, costumes for theme dates e.g. world book day & Christmas jumper days and more. We will ask for donations for the items in the shop.
