We had a wonderful RE Day on Tuesday, with the whole school taking part in a range of exciting and meaningful activities. The children enjoyed making a harvest loaf, learning a traditional Hindu celebration dance called Pongal, and exploring the topic of wonky vegetables and how we can appreciate food that might otherwise go to waste.

School Uniform Expectations
Colwall C of E Primary – School Uniform Expectations
PE Kit
Parents may purchase green sweatshirts, cardigans, fleeces and white polo shirts embroidered with the School’s name and logo from the Club Sport shop in Ledbury or online from Trutex Direct. If you are using Trutex Direct please enter the following code: LEA00350PB.
Second hand uniform is available to buy and there are regular sales, organised by The Friends, throughout the year.
P.E. Kit
P.E is an important part of the curriculum. We want the children to look good and feel good when exercising.
Please provide a plain white t-shirt or black polo shirt (available from Clubsports/Trutex), black shorts and pumps/trainers. The children may wear black tracksuit trousers in the winter.
P.E. kit should be sent into school on the first day of school each half term. Your child will have allocated days for P.E., but we do go out for a run whenever possible, so pumps/trainers are always needed in school. P.E. bags will be sent home for washing at least every half term or before if they start to get smelly!
Our black P.E. polo shirts are more expensive than a plain white t-shirt, but they are much more practical as they stay clean and do not get screwed up in the bottom of the P.E. bag.
Buy a larger size and it will last longer!
