Uniform
School Uniform
We expect children to look smart whilst they are at school and uniform is a major part of this.
All school uniform is available to purchase from Brenda’s Schoolwear- see below for details.
Basic elements of school uniform such as trousers, shorts, skirts, summer dresses and plain polos can also be purchased cost effectively from many high street stores and supermarkets.
We have some second-hand uniform which can be purchased from the school. Please email uniform@stpetersjun.co.uk with your requirements and we will see if we have them. Second-hand uniform is also available to purchase at parents’ evenings.
The following are the school uniform requirements for boys and girls. Items available only from Brenda’s are underlined.
- White polo-shirt with collar (plain or with optional St Peter’s crest)
- Royal blue sweatshirt or cardigan with St Peter’s crest
- Grey trousers, skirt, pinafore, culottes or shorts- these should be ‘uniform grey’ as opposed to charcoal grey (please ask for advice if you are not sure).
- Strong plain black shoes. PLAIN black trainers (of the Nike Airforce 1 style) are acceptable but they must not have coloured/white soles- they need to be all black.
- Royal blue checked dresses may be worn in warm weather
- Children should wear plain socks or tights that are grey, black or white
- Children are advised to bring a waterproof jacket to school every day
For safety reasons, we will not allow open toe sandals or ‘jelly’ shoes.
Please don’t buy lace up shoes until your child can competently tie them themselves. Shoelaces can easily come undone and this can be very dangerous in a busy playground.
Physical Education Uniform
Children wear their PE kit into school on PE days.
- White sports top with house colour panel and St Peter’s crest
- Navy shorts- as plain as possible please- any logo must be minimal.
- Trainers (which may be worn every day if black, but suitability for sport is the main consideration for PE)
- Children may wear tracksuit bottoms during the cold winter weather and their school jumpers. Tracksuit bottoms should be plain and navy/black in colour. Any designer logos should be small and discreet.
Every child belongs to a House Team:
- St. David - Yellow
- St. Andrew - Blue
- St. George - Red
- St. Patrick - Green

Jewellery, Accessories and Nail Polish
Children may wear one pair of small, plain, silver or gold ear-studs (not hoops or hanging ear-rings). The following rules apply for ear-studs and PE/Sport:
If possible, children must remove ear-studs prior to any PE lesson or sporting activity where a collision with a pupil, a piece of apparatus or a ball etc. might occur. They must be removed by the child themselves.
Where staff deem the activity safe enough, children who are not able to remove ear-studs should make them safe by taping them front and back.
The taping should be sufficient to prevent injury from an unintentional blow. Children will be expected to be able to do this for themselves before PE, or have their piercings taped at home before coming to school on PE days. We keep a stock of tape for such purposes although it does help if older children have their own.
Staff must not be expected to do the taping for pupils. We retain the right to exclude a pupil from PE in any circumstances where it is felt the pupil is at risk.
It is still best to wait until the Summer Holidays to have piercings done, so that they can be removed for PE wherever possible.
Watches and Nails
A watch may also be worn to school. Nail polish should be removed before school; make-up, necklaces or bracelets may not be worn unless for specific medical or religious reasons.
Watches should not be capable of sending or receiving messages or calls, or taking pictures. We will ask children to take watches off if we cannot be sure they could be used for the above purposes, and to keep them at home. Fitness watches (for example Garmin Kids) are permitted.
All watches/jewellery allowed under the uniform policy are worn at the owner's risk. The school cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage.
Uniform Consultation
The Education (Guidance about Costs of School Uniforms) Act 2021 was passed by Parliament to make school uniform costs affordable for families of all backgrounds and give parents the best value for money.
In light of this, the governing body led a uniform consultation with parents in March, 2022. In response to the consultation feedback, the following changes were made and agreed by the full governing body:
- Children will have the option of wearing a non-logo polo shirt.
- Trousers and skirts for girls will be grey in future. Navy skirts and trousers will be phased out.
- Children will have the option of wearing trainers to school in place of school shoes, but these must be smart, plain and completely black.
- No changes will be made to the current PE uniform, which children are allowed to wear into school for two days a week.
