SCHOOL UNIFORM

The rationale behind our school uniform policy is to encourage all children to look smart and to take pride in belonging to our ‘Family school at the heart of the community’.

Please note navy & gold PE socks, navy PE shorts with school logo, navy sports fleeces with school logo, PE bags with school logo and rucksacks with school logo are all also available from Taunton Uniforms, but are optional items.

ALL CLOTHING MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED WITH THE PUPIL’S NAME.

Hair below shoulder-length MUST be tied back. Hair ties and accessories should be small, discreet and in navy or white. Extreme hairstyles such as shaven heads, tramlines, shaven patterns or hair colours outside those regarded as natural are not acceptable. Jewellery (other than one small, plain stud per ear), make up, nail varnish and temporary tattoos are not permitted.

NO HOODIES – Hoodies are not permitted to be worn at all in school, either for indoor or outdoor wear

All children at St Andrew’s Church School are expected to wear correct school uniform.

Children wearing non-uniform footwear, will be given a pair of school daps to wear for the day and will receive their own shoes back at the end of the day.

Pupils will be asked to remove any make-up, nail varnish or non-uniform hair accessories worn to school.

Parents of pupils not wearing correct uniform will be requested to attend a meeting with Mrs Frounks to discuss the matter.

Please see our St. Andrew’s Church School Uniform Facebook page, where parents are able to buy and sell second-hand uniform, thereby re-using clothing, reducing costs and recycling. Please search for St. Andrew’s Uniform and request to join the group.
