SCHOOL UNIFORM
We pride ourselves in looking smart in school. Children should recognise the need to wear appropriate uniform and take pride in their appearance.
School Uniform (Non-PE days)
Navy Blue v-neck sweatshirt or cardigan, preferably with the St Mary’s badge.
White shirt/blouse and plain red, school tie.
Dark/Mid Grey skirt, dress, pinafore, trousers or shorts.
Blue and white gingham dress (summer only)
Black school shoes (Trainers are NOT allowed to be worn in school, except on PE days)
Plain black boots can be worn in winter. Wellington boots can be worn if the weather is bad.
PE Kit (To be worn on all ‘PE days’)
Plain navy shorts
White T-shirt/navy T-shirt (preferably with the St Mary’s school logo)
A plain black or navy tracksuit (for outdoor PE lessons) Please try to avoid heavily branded clothing. We also advise against wearing expensive tracksuits, such as Nike Tech.
Trainers should be worn for all PE days.
Other Items
School Bookbag
Water bottle with lid that seals.
Please make sure that all items of uniform are clearly labelled with your child’s name. This includes water bottles.
Jewellery – one pair of small plain silver or gold stud earrings.
Jewellery is the responsibility of the pupil and lost or damaged items will not be refunded.
The Association for Physical Education’s (AfPE) Safe Practice in Physical Education recommends that all jewellery should be removed for PE.
No jewellery including clear plastic retainers should be worn on PE days. If children cannot remove their own earrings, this should be done at home on the day of PE. Parents will be contacted if children come in earrings or retainers and cannot remove their own. The staff may decide that a child has to miss PE, due to health and safety reasons, if earrings are deemed to be dangerous.
Hairstyles –
Long hair should be tied up to avoid health and safety risks and ensure that children’s vision is not impeded.
Small hair clips and headbands may be worn. Large, excessive hair accessories should not be worn. eg. Jojo bands.
Make up – is not allowed. Pupils wearing make-up will be required to remove it or, if appropriate, sent home to remove it. No nail varnish may be worn. False nails and extensions are not permitted.
At the Headteacher’s discretion, there may be exceptions to the above in extreme circumstances, for example, a pupil may be permitted to cover skin damage or scarring.
Labelling – all pupils’ clothing and footwear should be clearly labelled with their name. If a pupil goes home in anther child’s clothing by accident, parents should send the item of clothing back into school. Any lost clothing is taken to the lost property box and retained for a term and added to the uniform donation box.
