School Uniform Policy

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School & Nursery Uniform

Our Policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:

creates a demonstrable illustration of togetherness and common identity
is practical and smart
promotes equality in terms of appearance
is designed with health and safety in mind

All pupils at St Thomas More School are encouraged to wear their school uniform with pride.

The governors have worked with the school staff to source a uniform that is easily accessible and value for money.

Jewellery and nail polish

On the grounds of Health and Safety, we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school. The exceptions to this rule are a wrist watch, plain gold / silver stud in pierced ears, or a medical identification chain or band. Hoop earrings are not permitted as these can cause an injury to the wearer. We advise parents to remove earrings at home when there are timetabled PE activities (including extra-curricular) or swimming lessons. Staff members are not permitted on grounds of Health & Safety to remove or replace earnings.

Hair

The school does not permit children to have ‘extreme’ hair colours (those that would not be considered 'natural') or styles as these could serve as a distraction to themselves or other children. Long hair (shoulder length and below) must be tied back at all times.

Footwear

At St Thomas More School, we believe that children’s feet are very important and incorrect footwear at an early age can cause long term damage. Shoes must be flat, fully enclose the foot and made of a black polishable material. They may have a buckle, T-Bar, laces or velcro. Children are expected to wear either socks or tights with their shoes, as not wearing such items may cause damage to their feet in the long term. For outdoor PE, children will require sports trainers (not fashion trainers) that can be fastened appropriately to avoid injury during physical activity.

In inclement weather, children will of course be encouraged to wear boots (wellington or snow boots) to and from school but will be expected to change into school shoes to wear in the school.

Occasionally there is a need to be flexible in the way we apply our uniform regulations. If any parent or carer believes there is a health, religious or cultural reason why their child needs to apply for an exemption from our uniform rules we ask that it be put in writing and discussed with a member of the Senior Leadership Team.

The policy of the governing body is that all children will wear school uniform as listed below:
