Uniform Expectation
St Mary’s School Uniform
Our school uniform represents us, reflecting our shared values, the standards we uphold and the pride we take in being part of the community. We hope all parents and carers will support us in achieving this vision.
Our uniform policy also helps teach children an important life lesson: whether they are part of a club such as Scouts, a sports team, at secondary school, or eventually entering the workplace, how they dress reflects the community or organisation they represent. Wearing the appropriate uniform with pride helps to develop a sense of belonging, respect, responsibility, and unity.
For more information, please refer to our Uniform Policy in the Policies section.
