We look after the boys and girls in our House groups throughout the school. We listen to them and share their ideas with Ms Hogg and Miss Byrne. We are in charge of the house points and plan the winners prize.
Our school uniform consists of grey skirt or trousers, white shirt and tie or red polo shirts and red sweatshirts. Uniforms with our logo are provided by Baru and can be ordered via their website www.kitmykid.co.uk and selecting Halfmerke Primary.
Please note - we do not insist that children wear polo shirts or sweatshirts with the logo. Plain red items are just as acceptable. We ask that you put your child's name on all items of clothing.
Throughout the year, we also organise pre-loved swap shops for uniform.
This year in particular, we have extended our outdoor learning opportunities. Black jogging bottoms are an acceptable form of uniform.
