Uniform
We are proud of our uniform and believe that it has a good influence both in and out of school. It fosters a good collective and community spirit and a sense of responsibility. All children attending the school must wear the correct school uniform and we expect parents’ full support enforcing our uniform rules.
Please see our Uniform Policy at the bottom of this page.
Please note that long hair must always be tied back off shoulders when in school and that extreme hairstyles should be avoided and that no hair gel is applied. We ask for your support in these matters.
Jewellery must not be worn in school. It is a health and safety directive from Surrey that the wearing of jewellery, ear-rings and ear-studs should not be permitted during PE lessons and sporting activities. The Governors of the school endorse this advice and children will be asked to remove ear-rings or studs
should they arrive in school wearing them. New piercings should only be made in the first week of the summer holidays so that ears have sufficient time to heal over the long break.
Every belonging your child brings into school should be clearly labelled. In our experience sewn-on labels are the most effective for clothing, and vinyl labels or sharpies are useful for water bottles or lunchboxes. All un-named and unclaimed property that is left around the School is put into the lost property box under
the canopy outside the School Hall. If clearly labelled, items will be returned to pupils in their class rooms. Sometimes though, it is worth asking other parents to check, as they may not have noticed that their child has the wrong cardigan etc.
Any unclaimed items still in the lost property box at the end of each term will be donated to the PTA. Please do not complain to us that your child has lost an item if you have not labelled it! We support children in independently managing their belongings but you can support them by labelling everything they bring into school.
The PTA second hand uniform shop is available termly to buy second hand items of uniform. It is always worth checking before buying new.

The children wear winter uniform from the October half term holiday to the May Bank Holiday, at the beginning of May. Summer uniform is therefore worn from May to the end of October. If there is any change due to weather, you will be notified in the Marist Mail.
The school expects every item of uniform to be clearly labelled with the child's name. Please visit www.stickins.co.uk to order your name labels and support the school's fundraising initiative as we receive a 30% commission donation on all orders. Our school fundraising number is 23267.
