School Uniform

School Uniform

The school firmly believes that the wearing of school uniform gives the children of our school a sense of identity, a sense of belonging and a sense of the importance we place in the community of St John’s Green Primary School.

Jewellery

 

Jewellery should be kept to a minimum and parents are urged to consider the implications of wearing valuable items to school. Earrings are limited to the wearing of a small stud.

 

Hoops and dangly earrings must not be worn – this includes on non-uniform days.

 Please note that earrings MUST be removed by the child themselves or by parents prior to coming to school when your child has PE.

We recognise that some pupils with SEND may require some flexibility regarding uniform as a reasonable adjustment to enable access to the school environment. Parents may also have other reasons they wish their child to wear something alternative. In such cases we welcome an open dialogue and request you contact the office.

 

To help your child follow this policy, please ensure they have the correct uniform and PE kit.
