School Shoes

As part of their Patana school uniform, our students wear plain black shoes with no coloured trim.

If your child is still coming to school in coloured trainers, please purchase plain black school shoes over the half term break.

Shoes should support healthy foot growth.

All shoes require at least a strap to keep the shoe firmly in place. No ballet pumps.

Children can wear lace-ups if they can tie up their laces independently.

Plain black school shoes can be sourced in many shops and department stores.

If your child has to wear other shoes for a specific reason, please let us know.

These photographs are all examples of suitable plain black shoes.

PE

A polite reminder that students require sports shoes / trainers for PE lessons, which are different to their school shoes. This applies even if their School shoes are black trainers.

Music

The Primary Music Department are very excited to announce the first ever “Primary Performance Week” will be happening from 6th-16th October. Anyone who is learning a musical instrument will be able to sign up to perform in the new shared performance space in front of a small audience. The event will happen during the normally timetabled music lesson and children can sign up with their music teacher in the next couple of weeks.

This is a wonderful opportunity for children to share their talents, build confidence and perform in front of a small, supportive audience. Although we are not able to welcome parents to these events at this time, we will be recording performances and will be able to share these with you.

Should you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Mr Charlie chmc@patana.ac.th
