Football Colours Trial

As we continue our Sports Fortnight next week we have decided to trial allowing pupils to wear football colours when they are taking part in special events or dress down days. Please be aware these cannot be worn on any other occasions.

Traditionally, this has not been allowed as it has been perceived to cause issues in the classroom and playground. However, our pupils are all aware of which team each other (and staff) support and collectively we have to teach one another to respect that. We have decided to trail this next week and in the remaining dress down days.

If this does cause issues we will revert to a no football colours policy – the children are all aware of this.

If your child does choose to wear football colours can we ask you reinforce the expectation of respect with them as this policy can only continue if collectively everyone shows the same level of respect.

Thank you.
