St Andrew’s CE Primary School – Uniform & Dress Policy
At St Andrew’s, we believe our school uniform helps every child feel part of our school family. It encourages pride, belonging, and equality — and we want it to be affordable and practical for everyone.
Please make sure all uniform items are clearly named so that lost belongings can find their way home quickly.
If you ever have concerns about the cost of uniform, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. We’re always happy to have a confidential chat and help where we can.
We also have a selection of good-quality second-hand uniform available for free – just ask at the school office.
