School Uniform

St James Church School

Uniform 2023-24

Uniform is available from local supermarkets or ‘South West Schoolwear’, which is situated on East Reach. Tel: 01823 278080  www.swschoolwear.co.uk 

We never want uniform to be a barrier to children coming to school. Logoed tops are optional.

If you need support, then we will help. Please call the office or Dojo Mrs Harper or Mrs Maynard.

Please remember to name uniform – we have lots that gets lost due to not being named.

If uniform is named we can collect it and return to children asap. We have a system for collecting lost uniform (not named) and once a week we put it in the playground at the end of the day.

We regularly have free uniform in the playground that has been donated or lost property that hasn’t been collected for a half term. We notify parents when this happens.
