School Uniform

We expect all children to wear school uniform –including our PE kit, to foster a pride in their appearance and their school.  In addition, it helps us to identify them when out on school visits.

Please note: our uniform and PE Kits are available to buy either plain from a supermarket or emblazoned with the school logo from Lollipops.

The basic uniform requirements are as follows:

Girls:

Grey skirt/pinafore/trousers
Grey tights
White or grey socks
Suitable black footwear
White school shirt
Blue school jumper or cardigan (plain from a supermarket or emblazoned with the school logo from Lollipops)
Blue and white school summer dress (optional in the warmer weather)
Tie – Blue with yellow stripes.

Boys:

White school shirt
Blue jumper or cardigan (plain from a supermarket or emblazoned with the school logo from Lollipops)
Grey trousers /shorts
Suitable black footwear
Tie – Blue with yellow stripes.

Please Note :

• Girls cannot wear pattern tights or socks.
• Wellington Boots may be worn in winter for travelling to and from school. They can be worn at break and lunch times but children will be asked to change into appropriate footwear while indoors.

PE Uniform

Black shorts

T-Shirt in house colour, plain from a supermarket or emblazoned with the school logo from Lollipops.  (St Matthew – Red, St Mark – Blue, St Luke – Yellow, St John – Green)

In the case of cold weather children are permitted to wear black joggers/leggings and a plain blue hoodie or sweatshirt. Please note: this is optional

Please contact the office if you are unsure of your child’s house group.

Jewellery
We have a duty of care to ensure children are able to participate actively without unnecessarily endangering themselves or those working around them. On health and safety grounds we do not be allowing children to wear jewellery in our school. In line with guidance from The Association for Physical Education (afPE) children are required to remove watches during PE lessons to prevent them from causing injury. We advise parents who wish their children to have their ears pierced to do so at the beginning of the school summer holidays.

Hair
All hairstyles should be in keeping with our smart school uniform: parents should be aware that we do not permit extremes of fashion in hairstyles. Close shaved heads and patterns cut into hair or eyebrows are not acceptable. Hair that is longer than shoulder length should always be tied back; hair bands, ribbons/bows or ornaments should be simple; make up and nail varnish should not be worn to school.

Footwear
Suitable, plain and unbranded black footwear should be worn.
Platform soles or high heels are not permitted.
