Children should be sent to school in practical clothes. Elastic waist pants should be given to younger children instead of clothing with complicated belts and fasteners as these clothes can sometimes lead to accidents. Please ensure that outer footwear can be put on and taken off independently. This fosters independence and encourages the children to learn how to lace, as shoes with laces are a reward for learning this new skill.
