All items of clothing must be named
For Physical Education
Compulsory Footwear
- Sports trainers
- Football boots with rounded studs, NOT blades
Compulsory clothing

- House hoodie
- Plain Lyrca black or navy sports leggings or navy school jogging bottoms
The shorts, jogging bottoms, skorts, polos and hoodies must all have the RHS logo embroidered on them. These can be purchased from Webb Ellis.
Compulsory extras
- Shin pads
It would be preferable if polo tops and hoodies had the student’s name (forename and surname, full not nickname) embroidered on the right hand side opposite the logo. We have found this significantly reduces the number of items either lost or mixed up with other students’ clothing.
We are currently working with our student council on adding some further optional items of PE kit, these will be confirmed and communicated to our school community during the summer term. Parents may wish to wait for this confirmation before purchasing PE kit.
