SWIMMING

Boys and girls in Years 3 & 4 also require a swimming costume, and a swimming cap. LCC have adopted a safety
policy of swimming caps for all. Jewellery is not allowed in the pool. This is the policy of Lancashire County
Council.
Swimming aids will be provided by the instructors.

APPEARANCE AND DRESS

The following regulations have regard for safety and respect for good discipline:

1 KS2 (Years 3-6) children are allowed to wear one pair of plain gold/silver stud earrings. Children must not wear earrings
on PE days or for swimming. If they forget, they will be responsible for removing their own earrings before PE
and swimming and looking after them. Watches must be named.

2 Nail varnish or other cosmetics may not be worn.

3 A simple ribbon or elasticated hair band (in school colours, black or white) may be used to keep long hair tidy
and away from the face. Hard, plastic hair bands are not permitted for safety reasons. School policy is that
long hair should be tied back securely, plaited if very long, and kept away from the face.

4 Before PE or Games lessons, watches should be given to the teacher in charge.

St Anthony’s Catholic Primary school cannot accept responsibility for any personal items brought into school by the children.

If these instructions are followed a great deal of time and trouble can be saved.
