School Uniform

We believe that school uniform plays a key role in promoting our ethos, provides a sense of belonging and identity, as well as setting the tone for education at St Mary's. As part of our ethos of 'One Family', all of our pupils wear the uniform and parents are strongly encouraged to support us in this. Variations for ethnic or cultural groups will be accommodated and should be discussed personally with the Headteacher.

Winter uniform (to be worn during the autumn and spring terms) includes:

• Grey trousers/shorts/skirts/pinafore dresses
• White shirts (long or short-sleeved)
• School tie *
• Green St Mary’s Logo sweatshirt or cardigan *
• Grey or green tights
• White or grey socks
• Black shoes (which support feet and have sensible grip, no heels, boots or sandals are permitted)
• Long hair should be tied back with green/black/brown bands or accessories

In addition, summer uniform (to be worn during the summer term only) includes:

• Summer dresses – green check

• White polo shirt

PE Uniform: (to be worn to school on PE days)

• Plain white t-shirt or white polo shirt
• Plain dark green shorts
• White socks
• Plain black tracksuit bottoms

Jewellery:

For safety reasons the wearing of earrings is discouraged as it poses a risk, especially in PE. Where earrings are worn, they should be plain small studs, and it is the parent's responsibility to provide tape or plasters to cover earrings that a child cannot remove themselves for PE. Variations for ethnic or cultural groups will be accommodated and should be discussed personally with the Headteacher.
