School Uniform

Parents/carers may choose to purchase items of school uniform with or without the school logo. However we do request that all pupils have the PE top with the school logo.

 
The governors have adopted the following uniform code:

PE Dress:
Children should wear a school maroon polo shirt, black shorts and plimsolls / trainers which for Years R, 1 and 2 should be kept in a bag at school. Years 3 - 6 are to arrive and wear their PE kit on PE days. The school positively encourages children to be barefoot for PE in the Hall. All children will need a plain tracksuit that is blue or black as warm clothing for outside PE. (No logoed, team or club tracksuits are to be worn) Children in Years 1 – 6 will need trainers for outside games. All PE bags should be taken home at half term and holidays and the kit washed.

Jewellery

We do not allow children to wear jewellery to school, with an exception being made for:

• Simple watches that only tell time and do not distract the child or other children from their learning. Teachers and adults in the class will make a decision if a watch is causing a distraction or impacting learning. If this is the case, the teacher will ask for the watch to be removed and will hand it back to the parent.
• Small earring studs in pierced ears only (one piercing per ear).
• Small objects of religious significance.

Jewellery in PE

Jewellery may not be worn in school for PE. The Health and Safety Code of Practice (No. 25) September 2000 states:

The wearing of rings, earrings, watches, bracelets, and other personal adornments constitutes a hazard if worn for physical activity and must be removed by the child before the physical education lesson. Parents or children refusing to comply with these safety requirements are themselves preventing the school from the delivery of the National Curriculum.

Hair / Makeup

No extreme styles or hair colours are permitted. No lines, logos or shapes are to be cut into short hair.  Hair clips, bands can be worn to keep hair back but these should be white, black or maroon in keeping with the school uniform colours. Long hair must be tied back. No hair extensions, or purely decorative braids to be worn.

Headscarves/Hijab These may be worn for religious reasons but must be plain and in keeping with the school colours.

No make up is to be worn on normal school days. This includes the wearing of nail varnish and other items such as transfers of tattoos. Religious observations such as henna marking are permitted.

It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure that children follow the school policy. Children whose hair does not match the policy above will have to wear a St John’s School hat and the parents will be warned about future consequences if the issue arises again. Any repeat offenders will then be educated outside of the classroom away from their peers.

Pre-Owned Uniform

The FRA, (parent association) in partnership with the school, arranges dates each term where previously owned uniform that is in good condition is sold for a small amount. Dates of these events will be confirmed via the newsletter and FRA communications. 

Lost Property

All items of clothing should be labelled with your child’s name, as the school cannot accept responsibility for any articles lost or damaged on the school premises.
