Uniform

At St Mary's C of E Primary School, we believe that wearing a school uniform is essential for creating a sense of community and belonging among our pupils. Our school uniform  helps to promote equality, reduce distractions, and foster a focused learning environment. By wearing the uniform, students take pride in their school and feel a sense of unity with their peers.

Our School Uniform

Fleece, sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts and T-shirts with the school emblem embroidered on them are available to purchase online from www.myclothing.com or Kidzone, Burton Street, Melton Mowbray. 

Second Hand Uniform can be purchased via our PTA. Please speak to the school office.

You are free to purchase non-logo items of clothing, such as trousers, skirts, white polo shirts, from stockists of your own choice.

It is important that all items of clothing, shoes and bags etc are marked with the child’s name.

Hair

For safety reasons (and to reduce the risk of unwanted hair visitors), we ask that all hair longer than shoulder-length is tied up. 

Jewellery

For health and safety reasons, we do not allow the wearing of jewellery in school. The only exception is studded ear jewellery though these must be removed for PE and swimming.

Children are allowed to wear watches (not smart watches), but these must also be removed for P E.

We appreciate the cooperation of parents and carers in ensuring that their children come to school dressed in the appropriate uniform. This not only supports our efforts to maintain a consistent and professional appearance but also helps to instil discipline and respect for school rules. If a child does not wear the appropriate school uniform, parents will be contacted and asked to provide it.
