School Uniform

At St. Mary’s we take pride in our school uniform. We ask all children to wear the school uniform as it promotes the sense of shared identity and community within the school. We want children to take pride in their appearance so please encourage the children to come to school dressed smartly.

The school colours are navy blue and red. Sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts, summer and winter hats and fleeces for outdoors are all available with the school logo from Anysports in Yate shopping centre.

Hair

Please adhere to the following guidelines:

We ask that long hair is tied back.

An excessive amount of gel should not be used

Children should not designs shaven into their hair.

Jewellery

Generally jewellery is neither safe nor appropriate for young children at school. We do therefore insist that these rules be followed:

• Only one pair of stud earrings may be worn – no hoops/sleepers please.
• No bracelets, chains, necklaces or rings should be worn
• Studs must be removed or covered during PE. Staff cannot assist in doing this.

Watches may be worn but please don’t let children bring expensive watches to school, particularly on PE and Swimming days, as the  school cannot take responsibility if they are lost.
