School Uniform

All new starters to the school will receive one polo shirt and sweatshirt/cardigan free of charge. If you would like to purchase more items you can do so via ParentPay or the school office. 

We are aware of the complex needs of our pupils and can be flexible with uniform i.e. for pupils with sensory needs who don't like collars they can wear a t-shirt or we can provide items without the logo. Please talk to us and we will do our best to accommodate where possible.

If families are experiencing financial difficulties please talk to either the school office, the Family Footings Facilitator or any other member of staff to see if we can help with school uniform, especially if your child is eligible for pupil premium.

Medication in School

If your child needs to take medication during the school day we ask that you complete a 'Medication Consent Form'.

A copy of the care Medication Consent Form is below.

If anything changes with regards to your child's medication then we need to complete a Medication Consent Form each time there is a change to ensure we have the most accurate information.

Please note that there are strict guidelines provided by the Warwickshire School Health and Well-being Service about having medication in school.

Please also let us know if your child has allergies as soon as you are aware.
