SCHOOL UNIFORM

School uniform is an important way of helping children feel part of the school community. For this reason St. Patrick’s School has a School Uniform Policy. We do need the co-operation of all parents in maintaining the exact uniform both during the summer and winter.

The uniform is designed to ensure value for money for parents whilst restricting the number of more expensive ‘logo’ uniform pieces.  We also have a pre-loved uniform shop; see office for details.

A sensible watch may be worn by Junior children, but the school cannot be held responsible for any incurred loss or damage. Smart watches are not permitted.

If children are to have their ears pierced, this is to be done at the beginning of the summer holidays in order to allow time for them to heal.  Children are not allowed to wear plasters over their ears.

PLEASE MARK EVERY ITEM OF YOUR CHILD’S UNIFORM, INCLUDING COAT, HAT, GLOVES, ETC, CLEARLY WITH THEIR NAME AND REMEMBER TO DO THIS EACH TIME YOU HAVE TO REPLACE ANY OF THESE ITEMS AS THIS HELPS CONSIDERABLY WHEN SORTING LOST PROPERTY.

The PTA pre-loved uniform stall would be grateful for any donations of good quality uniform that your child has outgrown.  You may deposit any uniform donations in the specially marked green bins near the gate.
