Name Tapes
All items must be named for easy identification (name tapes may be ordered through South West Schoolwear).
Gender Neutrality
At Wells, we recognise that gender identity and birth gender play a factor in how people perceive themselves. Sports clothing lists are given as appropriate to the identified gender and sporting activity. All pupils do at least one games session a week, and parents must supply their children with the appropriate school kit. Staff are available to talk through the implications of our gender neutral approach to uniform at any time.
Some pupils who do a lot of sport like to have additional kit for training and matches; these items are optional and are only available through the Kukri website.
