It is the Governors and our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school or when participating in a school organised event outside of normal school hours. We ask that all parents, carers and children respect the school uniform policy. We believe our uniform should instill a sense of identity and belonging. We want our children to be comfortable in school as well as ensuring high standards and consistency.
“School uniform supports effective teaching and learning and engenders a positive, calm and respectful teaching and learning environment.” (Department for Education)
St John's uses Macpac to supply uniform direct to your home
We require that you label your uniform, we recommend using My Nametags, be sure to use our unique code 28469 at the checkout to help us raise funds for our PSA

The role of parents/carers
We ask all parents and carers who send their children to St John’s to support the school uniform
policy. It is the responsibility of parents and carers to ensure that their child has the correct uniform
and that it is clean, in good repair and named. Any parent wanting to request special dispensation with regard to school uniform should apply to the Headteacher.
