At St Mary’s we have adopted a uniform, which is easy to obtain and represents good value for money. The pupils at St Mary’s always look very smart, and I am sure this influences their behaviour, both in school and around the village. Many items of the uniform can be purchased from: Ansom Moore email: info@ansom-moore.co.uk tel: 01483 237555. Second hand uniform can be obtained through the PTA or the Home School Link Worker.

PE Kit
All pupils should have a royal blue round necked T-shirt with the school logo and plain black shorts or skortz. Indoor PE is performed in bare feet, for outdoor PE trainers or plimsolls are advised. For outdoor sports in cold weather, pupils are advised to bring black jogging bottoms and top. A hooded top is also available (this must only be worn for PE). All Reception & KS1 children should have a spare set of underwear in their PE bag.
For swimming, a towel, swimsuit / trunks, and swimming hat are needed. (Swim hats are available from the school office.)
Book Bags & Rucksacks
All Reception and KS1 children at St Mary’s will be required to bring a book bag to school. This should be brought to school every day and kept in the child’s tray. If you wish your child to bring a rucksack it must be plain black, navy or royal blue or with school logo, and the book bag must be brought into school too.
We advise that pupils in Reception and KS1 only use a book bag.
