What uniform does my child need?
At St John's, we feel that school uniform is important in ensuring that the children feel part of the school community.
The school uniform consists of a red T-Shirt, a blue jumper, grey trousers/skirt, grey socks/tights and black shoes.
Please ensure all items are clearly named so that we can easily return any lost items to the correct child.

Unfortunately we no longer stock or sell uniform from school however, we usually hold sales of pre-used uniforms throughout the year in order to raise funds for school trips.
There are a couple of options to help you purchase what you need for your child.
St John's school uniform is available online from The Uniform & Leisurewear Company. Parents can order items online and have them delivered to school for collection.

What PE kit does my child require?
Indoor Kit
Plain white T-shirt; black shorts; pumps
This kit should be kept in school in a bag and will be returned home at the end of each half term for washing.
Outdoor Kit
Plain white t-shirt, black joggers/leggings. The children can wear their school jumper when the weather is cold.
Children need to bring their joggers and trainers in a bag in the morning when it is their outdoor P.E lesson.
It is asked that children have their indoor P.E kit in school at all times.
Please ensure all items are clearly named so that we can easily return any lost items to the correct child.
If your child has pierced ears, and they are unable to take the earrings out by themselves, please provide plasters so they can cover the earrings during PE sessions.
