Uniform
Please try to ensure that your child wears correct school uniform to school. It is particularly important that children do not wear shoes that may be dangerous during the course of normal school activities. Children should have a change of shoes for use during PE lessons.

Shoes
Shoes should have low heels and be suitable for school activities. We encourage children to wear sunhats or caps in the summer. Children go out to play when it is cold, they should have a coat at school for most of the year.
Coats / Sun Hats
Children should have appropriate protection from the weather in school at all times. If the weather is cold or wet, your child should have a coat, and if it is hot, they should have a sun hat and sun cream applied before school. Please name all items of clothing.
Cloakrooms
Our cloakrooms are small and compact so it is better if children do not bring large bags into school. Children need only have a PE bag and a book bag (both can be purchased from the school office for £3.50 each.) Please label all clothes that could be taken off with your child’s full name - including socks and shoes.
Purchasing Uniform
St Peter’s have adopted a practical, money-saving approach to school uniform that benefits all parents and particularly those from low-income backgrounds. For example, the majority of our uniform items are available from high street shops, the only specialist item requiring the school logo are the purple school jumper / cardigan.
