Our uniform is:
Grey/Black trousers, skirt, shorts or pinafore dress- Trousers can be jogging bottoms if children are more comfortable in these and we would recommend this for younger children who are learning to be independent with clothing.
White polo shirt - This does not need a logo but you can wear a logoed polo shirt if you wish
Red sweatshirt or cardigan - This does not need a logo but you can wear a logoed one if you wish
Plain black shoes- Velcro or buckle fastenings, unless pupil can tie their own laces-children can wear black trainers all week. Please note that we do not allow Crocs or other slip on shoes as children can slip out of them when running.
Long hair should be tied back and no extreme (ie tramlines) haircuts
Earrings should be studs and children must be able to take them out for PE
No other jewellery (apart from a watch if people wish to wear one)
No fake nails, nail varnish or makeup
No large bows or headbands with extra parts eg cat ears or unicorn horns
If your child wears a head covering for faith reasons this should be black, white or red
Bags:
Children in Nursery and Reception should bring their book bag and a PE drawstring bag or carrier with a spare change of clothes including underwear in case of accidents.
Children in Y1-Y5 should only bring their book bag and lunch box – we do not have space to store rucksacks or other school bags as the children share lockers
Children in Y6 can bring a rucksack – they have their own locker and are getting used to personal organisation for high school

Cost consideration
We have ensured that our policy does not discourage parents from applying for a place for their child at St John's CE Primary School. We have adopted DfE guidance that states, "No school uniform should be so expensive as to leave pupils or their families feeling unable to apply to, or attend, a school of their choice, due to the cost of the uniform."
In determining our uniform supplier, we have given high priority to cost considerations. We can demonstrate how best value has been achieved and we will keep the cost of supplying the uniform under annual review.
We always endeavour to make sure that the school uniform is easily available for parents to purchase. We are keeping compulsory branded items to a minimum and we always avoid specifying expensive items of uniform eg expensive outdoor coats.
