School Uniform

The wearing of the school uniform is strongly recommended on the basis that.

• it need not cost more than other clothing
• it promotes a sense of shared identity
• it is neat and practical
• the competition/pressure for fashionable clothing is eliminated

Uniform

P.E Uniform

Sweatshirts, polo shirts, P.E. uniform all with the school badge are available from our approved outfitter, Emblematic https://studentuniform.co.uk/stjos120/

Swimming Uniform

Jewellery

On health and safety grounds, we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school, except for wrist watches (which must be removed during PE lessons – no smart watches).  If you wish to have your child’s ears pierced, then we ask that you do so at the beginning of the summer holidays to ensure that by the start of the Autumn term there is no need for earrings to be worn. Please avoid any discomfort for your child by sticking to this timetable as we do not allow earrings in school at any time.

Footwear

It is again strongly recommended that all pupils wear “sensible” black shoes for school. Trainers may be worn for PE lessons

Hair

All long hair must be tied back at all times. No oversized or brightly coloured hair accessories are allowed. Please stick to blue, white, grey or black plain hair ties/bobbles or slides. Bobbles will be given on arrival where necessary. Pupils should not have excessively shaved/patterned or dyed hair.

Other

Most year groups have a cloakroom area within the classroom and therefore we recommend school book bags and a draw string swim bag as space is limited. No oversized bags please. Book bags and drawstring bags are available to order with uniform (again this is optional). You will no longer need a PE bag. As you know, from September, children will be allowed to wear their PE uniform on their timetabled day and also if taking part in a sports after school club.
