Holy Cross Catholic High School New PE Kit Consultation November 2014

PE Kit Consultation Holy Cross is proposing to change the school PE kit from September 2015 We are consulting governors, pupils, staff and parents about designs for the new kit, prices and reasons for the change We are asking for your suggestions and comments Please look over the following slides which explain the reasons for the change, design ideas and new costs Details on how to respond are at the end of this power point

Why do we need a new kit? School Council feedback states that our pupils think the school PE kit is out-of-date in comparison to other local high schools Feedback from Parent Questionnaires query the durability and smartness of the current kit In comparison to other local high schools, our school kit appears to lack smartness, modern breathable fabric and value for money

The Proposal Holy Cross plans to change its school PE kit in September 2015 New intake September 2015 must purchase the new kit We propose to print initials on kit items to return lost kits more easily. The price will be included in the overall cost Pupils in Years 8, 9, 10 & 11 have the option to purchase the new kit GCSE PE pupils have the opportunity to purchase a different PE top in Year 10 We anticipate the old kit will be phased out over three years
