School Uniform

We believe that wearing the uniform gives the children a sense of belonging, equality and cohesion.

It is worn at the request of parents and helps to reduce conflict. It is therefore compulsory. We also expect the children to be smart in appearance during the school day.

This academic year we begin our transition from the red uniform to the blue, in order to align ourselves to the Marian colour blue. From 2025 it will be compulsory for all children to wear royal blue uniform. If you have any questions regarding uniform please contact the school office.

Jewellery

Apart from stud earrings, a watch, and a crucifix, cannot be worn in school.

Hairstyles

Children with long hair, past their shoulders, should have it tied up; tramlines or Mohicans are not deemed appropriate for school.

Uniform

The uniform requirements outlined below are a basic guide only. Fashions may change but we expect our children to present themselves at all times in a conventional style. Health and safety, not fashion, will be of paramount importance. Decisions on what is acceptable will be made by the Headteacher. If you are in any doubt please contact her at the school.

We have kept the school uniform as simple as possible so that it is accessible to all.  Sweatshirts and cardigans with the school logo are optional.

 

Book Bags are available to purchase from the school office, payment via Parentpay.com.

Key Stage 1 – £6.50

Key Stage 2 – £7.00
