Footwear Two pairs of black/navy school shoes – The girls will be doing a lot of walking between classes and in the rain so shoes may need to be rested to dry out so it is advisable to have two pairs. Some styles of shoe are not suitable as they can damage the feet if worn for a prolonged length of time (e.g. Ballet pump). Loafer style or lace ups are preferred. No canvas shoes. Sixth formers may wear brown shoes (not suede).
Please be aware that for DT and Science ballet style pumps and canvas cannot be worn as they do not safely cover the whole foot.

Walking shoes/pretty shoes/astro turf boots and finally Wellies – the most essential of the essential items.
