| | | From the Office | ALL YEAR GROUPS:
Senior Girls Uniform
We have made some covid based decisions about uniform this year. So we have not insisted that students wear the woollen, dry clean only blazer, we introduced an easy care jumper and we have allowed students to come into school in their PE uniform. Given the circumstances we felt this was the right thing to do.
In this return to school phase, post lock down, we also felt that we should focus on a safe, calm and structured return to school, not uniform. However, from September we will be re-tightening all of these aspects. We are an exclusive school with high standards in everything we do and we are proud to attend Claires Court and this must be reflected in our standards of uniform.
In the meantime, Mrs Ruddick and the tutor team will challenge non-policy jewellery, skirt lengths and non-uniform footwear. So, if you need to pop to Goyals to get any bits of uniform, please do so before we return in June.
From September, PE changing will return, the easy care round neck jumper will migrate to the PE uniform list and all students will be expected to be in full school uniform every day.
Thank you for your support in this, we understand how difficult it is to get teenagers into the correct school uniform so it is important that we work together.
Peripatetic Music
We are delighted that our peripatetic music tutors have now returned. If your daughter is interested in music lessons please complete the following form. Mr Gravett would be delighted to discuss these with you.
PE and Games
With fixtures due to resume this term, just a reminder that your daughter should bring with her suncream and all the essential team kit as required. Team sheets will be handed to the girls in advance of fixtures, but can also be checked on the PE Notice Board in the Atrium and can also be found here using the password CCsport2020.
