School Bag
An appropriate, waterproof and sealable bag should be purchased for the protection of all school items. Because students carry items of a reasonable weight in the bag, drawstring bags are not acceptable. Bags should be dark in colour and logos should be discreet. Fashion bags and handbags are not acceptable.
To ensure that the correct uniform is purchased we recommend that the school supplier Simmonds or the school uniform shop is used for clothing and the Golden Boot shoe shop for footwear. Leaflets outlining the style of shoes acceptable are available either on the school website (www.valleypark.kent.sch.uk/policies/shoelist.pdf) or from the Golden Boot.
In cases of any dispute regarding the suitability of uniform the Headteacher’s decision is final.
