All staff involved in a PE lesson must wear the appropriate clothing:

Sweatshirt/tracksuit top (preferably blue or black) or polo shirt (preferably white, blue or black)
or t-shirt (white, blue or black)

Tracksuit bottoms (preferably blue or black) or PE shorts (preferably blue or black)

When swimming, if staff are required to wear a swimming costume this should be modest and
one piece (no bikinis).
Note. FS staff may wear tracksuit, bottoms, polo shirts/t-shirts, sweatshirts and trainers of a style and
colour agreed with the SLT.
The SLT will be the final arbiter in matters relating to the dress code. It is important that clothes are
smart and modest and not likely to offend others. If you are uncertain about the suitability of your attire
please consult with your line manager.
School staff members who do not, in the judgment of the principal / SLT reasonably conform to this
dress code shall receive a notice from their line manager. Repeated violations or refusal to comply with
the directions of the principal / SLT by an employee could result in disciplinary actions.
