School Uniform
At Sacred Heart we believe that our uniform encourages a sense of pride in appearance and a feeling of belonging to the school family. Reasonabale adjustments for children with additional needs can made. Please discuss these with your child's class teacher in the first instance.
Uniform items are available from our on-line supplier, Nationwide School Uniforms, and samples of jumper and cardigans are available in the school for you to try on your child. Please make an appointment with the office.
The following uniform was agreed after consultation with parents:
Water bottles, school ties and descant recorders are purchased by placing an online order via Wisepay.

Reception
There are a few exceptions to the above uniform for these children. We would suggest that Reception children wear short-sleeved white shirts instead of those with buttoned cuffs.
General
All children should have a pair of wellingtons or an additional pair of suitable outdoor shoes in school for winter outdoor play.
In general terms, jewellery is not allowed at any time. However, the wearing of religious items such as; rosary beads or a crucifix is permitted. For a child who has pierced ears, one pair of small plain studs in the ear lobe is acceptable but not encouraged. Children in all classes are allowed to wear a watch; analogue or digital. However, please note smartwatches are not permitted in school.
Any jewellery items worn in school, must be removed when taking part in PE lessons. The school will not be held responsible for any injury or loss caused as a result of wearing any of these items.
Hair must be neat and of one natural colour. Hair accessories must be in school colours only (red/grey/white/black or hair-coloured). Longer hair must be tied back for health and safety reasons.
The wearing of make-up is not permitted in school, including 'tinted' lip balm/gloss, coloured or fake nails and perfume. Daily deodorant or antiperspirant is encouraged for older children.
We would urge you to name all items of uniform as it is almost impossible to trace the owners otherwise.
We do not hold an official ‘lost property’ box.
