A Uniform for Learning, Play, and Every Day

At St Mary’s, we want our pupils to arrive at school ready to learn, comfortable in their clothes, and proud of their school identity. We have listened to feedback regarding the rising costs of school-specific clothing and the logistical "shuffle" of switching between regular uniform and PE kits.

We have  a single, all-day, every-day uniform.

• Inclusivity & Comfort: A flexible uniform accommodates all children, including those with sensory needs or those who love active play.

• Simplicity: No more "PE days"—children will be dressed for physical activity every single day.

The Uniform

Item                Specification

Top Layer       Navy blue jumper with logo, Navy blue hoodie with school logo or fleece top with school logo.

Base Layer      Light blue polo shirt

Bottoms          Plain black bottoms (includes trousers, jogging bottoms, or leggings). Shorts may be worn if tailored.

Footwear         Plain black shoes or trainers (must be fully black).

Variation         Blue and white checked summer dresses may be worn in warmer weather. 

How to Source the Uniform

To keep costs as low as possible, we are proposing two flexible options:

• Direct Purchase: You can buy pre-embroidered tops through our official supplier Pinders.

• DIY Option: You may purchase plain navy hoodies/fleeces from any high-street retailer or supermarket. We have partnered with a local embroidery service RRM Kustoms on Muglet Lane that can add the school logo to these items at a significantly reduced "per-item" cost.

Jewellery (other than a watch or plain earrings) should not be worn. If your child has pierced ears, they must be able to remove them themselves for P.E. If your child is wishing to have their ears pierced, we encourage you to have them done before the six week holidays. Make-up and acrylic/false nails are not allowed.
