At St James we are working very hard to improve standards of uniform. The reason we want our children in the correct uniform is directly linked to high standards. We constantly tell the children that if they look smart on the outside, they feel smart on the inside. Being in the correct uniform helps the children to feel part of our St James’ family, it also helps to create a school ethos of high standards and high expectations. We make no apologies in having this high expectation of parents to ensure their child is in the correct uniform, because you as parents would be incredibly disappointed if school didn't want high expectations and standards for your children. Wearing a smart school uniform also prepares children for high school and not to mention future careers that your children may wish to undertake where uniform is a non negotiable. 

Our school uniform includes: 

• Navy V-Neck jumper/cardigan (with OR without the new school logo)
• OPTIONAL school tie (navy blue with light blue stripe)
• White shirt if wearing a tie
• White polo shirt (with OR without the new school logo)
• Grey school trousers/skirts/pinafores
• Grey school shorts for boys or girls in warmer weather
• Blue and white gingham summer dresses for girls in warmer weather
• Plain white, grey, black, navy school socks or tights
• Black SCHOOL SHOES - NOT black trainers or coloured trainers
• Plain white PE T-Shirt (with OR without the new school logo)
• Plain navy PE shorts
• No extreme hairstyles such as shaved hair patterns and hair colours
• Your child may be asked to bring to school an outdoor PE kit, this would contain a pair of tracksuit bottoms and trainers - we will not specify what this would look like as we are happy for parents to provide what they are able.
