Our school has a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform.

Pupils are expected to wear the correct uniform at all times (other than specified non-school uniform days) while on the school premises, travelling to and from school, at out-of-school events or on trips that are organised by the school, or where they are representing the school (if required)

Watford St John’s C of E Primary School uniform is available to purchase from Mapac

At Watford St John’s children in KS2 go swimming. There is no branded uniform however the
children are expected to wear swimming costumes that are modest (ie not bikinis).

There is no branded school coat however, we would encourage non-branded coats for school.

Pierced ears: children are allowed to wear small studded earrings only – this is because accidents can occur should they have hoops or dangly earrings.

Necklaces and bracelets – items of religious observance can be worn for school; however, this is at the risk of the parent/carer as accidents can happen when children are doing PE or playing.

Nail polish may not be worn to school.

Hair: all hair that may interrupt learning (going into the eyes of children) must be tied up for learning. We do not encourage lines or patterns to be shaved into hairstyles. Hair ties/bows must be in school uniform colours or black. Bows must not be longer than 5cm.

School shoes should be black, and should only have laces when a child is confident at tying laces. PE Trainers should be suitable for sports; inside and outside.

More information about our school uniform can be found in our School Uniform Policy.
