School Uniform

At St Matthew’s we are proud of our school and believe that school uniform is important as it looks smart, contributes to a sense of belonging and fosters a feeling of pride.  There are no requirements to purchase any branded items but parents and carers are welcome to do so if they wish. 

School uniform consists of:

• A navy sweatshirt or cardigan (branded items are available from the school office with a logo if desired)
• A white shirt or polo shirt
• Black or grey trousers or skirt
• Black shoes

Girls may wear blue and white checked dresses during the summer and boys or girls can wear shorts..

Uniform Policy

PE Kit

Participating in Physical Education lessons is a statutory requirement.  To comply with health and safety regulations, all pupils must wear their PE Kit to school on the days they have PE.  This consists of a plain white t-shirt and navy or black shorts or jogging bottoms with black pumps or trainers.  

All items of uniform and personal belongings should be clearly marked with the pupil’s name. 

Jewellery

Earrings are not part of the school uniform but if ears are pierced, then we request that only one stud earring in each ear is worn for school; studs should be small and as flat as possible. Necklaces, bracelets and rings are not to be worn to school. Children are, however, encouraged to wear a watch.  No jewellery under any circumstances must be worn for PE lessons.

Children are not allowed to wear nail varnish or make-up.
