Year 2 PE days are: Monday and Friday

 

The children will need to come to school in their PE kit (including trainers)  – not their normal school uniform. They will wear their PE kit for the whole day. Details of the school P.E. kit can be found on the website https://st-josephs-upminster.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/School-Uniform-Regulations-2020-21.pdf

Please note: Children taking part in after school sports clubs must also wear full PE kit to school on the day the club is taking place.
