PE Kit

PE kits should be in school from the first day of a new term and left in school till the end of each half term. All children are required to take part in PE as it is part

• f the National Curriculum. Schools are expected to

teach the children a range of skills to help support them to lead healthy lives. Please make sure all PE KITS ARE LABELLED, as it is hard to locate missing clothing with no names. No jewellery to be worn, so children will need to be able to take earrings out themselves.

Behaviour

We expect every child to come to school with the intention of learning and be punctual every day. We expect every child to have a high expectation for their learning and for their behaviour. We expect every child to take pride in their learning, their school and each other. We expect all children to adhere to the Rights and Responsibilities within school through the Eastbury Values and the British Values.

British values are:

• Democracy;
• The rule of law;
• Individual liberty;
• Mutual respect;
• Tolerance of those with different

faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.
