School Uniform
The Governing Body of St Matthew’s CE (Aided) Primary School and Nursery Centre has agreed that school uniform must be worn at all times in both School and Nursery and should consist of:
- School Logo sweatshirt or cardigan in navy blue/ Plain navy sweatshirt or cardigan.
- Grey/black or navy trousers.
- Grey/ black or navy pinafore dress or skirt.
- Blue/white shirt or polo shirt.
- Blue gingham dresses (summer only, after Easter half-term holiday)
- White/grey/black or navy socks or tights.
- Black or dark shoes (no heels or platforms, no trainers). Boots are not school uniform and if your child chooses to wear them to walk to school then they should be changed once inside to normal school shoes.
We want the children to take pride in their appearance and how they represent the school.
