Requirements: Please ensure ALL items are NAMED

  • A second pair of shoes that you don't mind getting wet packed in a named plastic bag (e.g. an old pair of trainers/water shoes or something similar)

  • Sun cream and sun hat. Please apply suncream before coming to school if sunny.
  • Tracksuit bottoms and a waterproof coat as extra layers for warmth/ incase it rains.
