School Uniform

We have school uniform for collective smartness, to develop a sense of pride in belonging to St Francis School and for social reasons. The uniform is designed to be practical and suitable for the children’s working day in school. We hope that parents will support our policy.

All items of clothing must be labelled with your child’s name. For safety reasons jewellery must not be worn to school at all. Whilst small, plain, stud type earrings are acceptable; they must be removed for any physical activity.
