School Uniform Information

At St Mary’s New Church School, we are proud of our school uniform and the strong sense of identity it gives our children.

From Reception through to Year 6, pupils wear a smart and practical uniform consisting of a red school sweatshirt and a white polo shirt.

Wearing Our Uniform with Pride

Our uniform plays an important role in school life. We encourage all children to wear it neatly and with pride every day.

A high standard of appearance reflects our school values, including:

  • Good discipline
  • Self-awareness
  • Responsibility
  • Pride in belonging to our school community

Wearing the correct uniform helps children show what it means to be a St Mary’s New Church pupil.

Pre-Loved Uniform

Pre-loved school uniform is available from the rails located at the entrance to the school.

All pre-loved uniform is kindly donated back to the school community and is freshly laundered before being made available for the next family to use. This helps us reduce waste and support sustainability, while also ensuring high-quality, ready-to-wear items for families.
