School Uniform
We encourage our children to take a pride in their appearance and believe that wearing school uniform is important in developing a sense of belonging to St Paul's. Our logo school uniform is supplied by Earth Uniform.
On their class PE/Games days the children come to school already dressed in their PE kits This means that children will wear uniform on three days and PE kit on two days each week.

Other important notes on uniform
Pre-Loved Uniform
We hold half termly pre-loved uniform sales. If you need something urgently please email the school office who will be happy to see if the item(s) you need are available. If you have difficulties buying uniform please let us know, your concerns will be treated confidentially.
Laces
If your child has lace up shoes or trainers, for their safety, independence ,and self- esteem please ensure that they can confidently tie and untie them before they wear them to school.
Jewellery, Make-up & Hair
- Children may not wear jewellery except for small plain studs (no hoops) if they have pierced ears. Earrings must be removed during all P.E. and other sporting activities including swimming. Teachers are not permitted to remove earrings.
- No make up of any kind, including nail varnish, is permitted - nail varnish remover may be used to remove varnish worn in school.
- Hair that is shoulder length or longer should be tied up. Hair ties, clips and bands must be plain and not “fashion items”.
Extreme hairstyles are not appropriate for school. The use of styling products should be kept to a minimum and children should not have decorative patterns cut into their hair, have hair coloured or dyed, or have coloured extensions/weaves etc.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT ALL CLOTHING WORN TO SCHOOL IS CLEARLY MARKED WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME.
The Role of Parents
We believe that one of the responsibilities of parents is to ensure that their child has the correct uniform and PE kit, that it is clean, in good repair and that the child’s name is written on all items. If a parent has difficulties for any reason fulfilling this request they are asked to speak confidentially to the office manager, or a senior member of staff, to discuss the issues. Parents should be assured that we will do all we can to help.
Children wearing non-school uniform clothing may be loaned an appropriate item from our pre-loved to wear for that day and parents will be contacted to discuss the matter. If there are reasons, for example on religious grounds, why parents want their child to wear items that differ from the school uniform the school will consider such requests sympathetically. If any parent would like to request a modification to the uniform policy they should, in the first instance, contact the Headteacher.
