School Uniform

We ask parents and carers to fully support our school uniform expectations and to ensure that pupils look smart for school.

We think that our uniform is affordable with the majority of items such as trousers, skirts, pinafores, summer dresses etc being available from our uniform provider or from supermarkets.

Uniform helps to unite the children as members of St John’s VC Academy; encourages them to be proud of the school they represent; helps to avoid peer pressure and distractions relating to clothing and accessories; enables children to look the same regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds; and helps families have a smooth start to the day with no debates about what children are going to wear.

All items of uniform, including uniform with our school logo such as sweatshirts and cardigans, polo shirts, PE T-shirts and book bags, are available from our supplier:
