School uniform

Our school colours are blue, white and grey. We have a school uniform for a variety of reasons. These include giving the children a sense of pride in their school, giving a school identity and a sense of belonging and membership. We want our pupils to be smart ambassadors for the schools when they are out and about in the community.   You can view our full Uniform Policy on our Policies Page

Most items of our uniform can be sourced from high street suppliers (not uniform with the St Martin’s logo). Alternatively logo printed items, specific to our schools, can be obtained from:

You may find suitable seam-free clothes available from ASDA, Marks and Spencer or socks are available from www.sockshop.co.uk.  You may prefer tape to help make seams more comfortable; this is available from Amazon or Hobbycraft. 

School ties are available from the office at £4.50 each.

Iron-on badges: We are now able to provide heat sealed iron-on badges, these can be purchased via your child’s SCOPAY account and collected from the office. Each badge is £1.80 

Please ensure that each item of clothing is clearly labelled with your child's first and last name. It is also a good idea to add your child's class. This will help us to minimise lost property.

 Additional Information

Jewellery

Standard analogue watches are permitted from Year 2 upwards. No smartwatches or digital watches, including Fitbits and fitness trackers, are permitted at school.  One small, plain, stud earring in each earlobe is permitted, no more than 5mm. Ideally, ear piercing should take place at the beginning of a summer holiday. Children will need to be able to remove these themselves for all P.E. sessions. However, if you wish your child to continue wearing their earrings during PE then you will need to complete the form at the end of the uniform policy (see appendix 1).  

Children will be asked to remove any smartwatches or additional earrings: these will be kept safely and will be returned to the parent or carer at the end of the day or when convenient for parent or carer to collect these.  No additional jewellery (including rings, necklaces or bracelets) are permitted at school. 

Hair styles

Shoulder length or longer hair must be away from the collar and must be tied up with a blue, grey or white hair band. Only grey, blue or white headband/Alice bands are permitted. All hair styles should be appropriate to a primary school environment, e.g. without effects like Mohicans, tram lines or where the scalp can be seen. Hair must be natural in colour and hair colouring will not be permitted. Pupils are welcome to wear their hair in hairstyles associated with their racial, ethnic and cultural identity, however, any twists, braids or cornrows should be a natural hair colour.  

Makeup and nail varnish

 These are not permitted and your child will be asked to remove them. 

Religious and cultural customs

The schools will take into consideration religious and cultural customs where parents make a request for a reasonable adjustment to the current school uniform. Such requests must be made in writing for the attention of the Senior Leadership Team who will consider the request.
