Other
Swimming: Either a one piece swimming costume or swimming trunks/shorts (no bikinis). Pupils with long hair need to put their hair in a bobble. They may wish to consider wearing a swimming cap due to the limited time available for drying hair.
​
Book Bags: The Friends of Abermorddu School (PTA) kindly purchase the books bags and will be given when your child joins us in Nursery or Reception. Thereafter, they will be available to purchase from our main school uniform supplier. We have a new style book bag which looks like a gym bag, this may be more practical for your child as they can wear it like a bag and it can hold other items such as a water bottle. This can be purchased via the School Gateway app.
​
Jewellery: The school does not allow children to wear jewellery to school (with the exception of earrings). Children who wear earrings must be able to take them out before taking part in a PE session. If this is not possible, the children will be expected to cover up the earrings with hypoallergenic tape/plasters (tape must be provided by parents). Earrings must be in the style of a plain gold/silver stud (no brightly coloured earrings or hoops).
​
Makeup and Temporary Tattoos: The school discourages the wearing of any other body adornment e.g. make up, nail varnish, temporary tattoos and hair colouring. This is in order to maintain the high standards of presentation throughout the school.
​
Hairstyles: We expect children to have their hair cut in an appropriate style. We ask that pupils with long hair wear it tied back for a number of reasons. The curriculum has become more practical and hands-on than it has ever been. Due to health and safety reasons and on a practical level, it would be beneficial if pupils already have hair tied back so that they are ready for any practical activities that may be taking place. Having long hair tied back can also help avoid the spread of head lice in school. Over decorative hair slides/bobbles/bands are not appropriate or suitable to wear in school. The shaving of patterns in hair styles must be avoided during term time.
