Where can I find school trainers for boys?
School Trainers for Boys
According to the school uniform policy, boys should have non-marking trainers specifically for Physical Education (PE) classes. These trainers are part of the required PE kit and should only be worn during PE lessons, not as everyday school shoes.
PE Trainers Requirements
- Must be non-marking (to protect gym floors)
- For PE use only - not to be worn as regular school shoes
- Should be suitable for physical activity
Everyday School Shoes
For regular school wear, the policy clearly states that trainers are not acceptable as everyday footwear. Students must wear proper school shoes that meet the following criteria:
- Plain black formal shoes (not trainers)
- No sports brands like Nike, Adidas, Vans, etc.
- No canvas shoes or Converse-style footwear
- No boots
- Sensible styles without thick soles or high heels
If your child has a medical reason requiring them to wear trainers, please provide a note from a medical professional to your child's Head of Year. In such cases, non-branded trainers that comply with school guidelines would be required.
Where to Purchase
PE trainers can be purchased from any sportswear retailer or department store. When buying, ensure they are non-marking and suitable for physical activity. For regular school shoes, various shoe retailers offer appropriate options that comply with the school's uniform policy.
Always refer to the school's specific shoe guidance before making a purchase to ensure compliance with the uniform requirements.
