Your child is welcome to wear ‘mufti’ (home clothes) to school on their birthday. If they have a birthday in a school holiday they can wear mufti on the last day of the term.
Will my child need to bring in a PE kit?
All children will wear their PE kit to school on the days they are taught PE. They will not need a PE kit at school.
