Uniform
At St John's, we believe in having a school uniform as it can support positive behaviour and discipline; it can encourage identity with, and support the ethos of the school, and helps nurture cohesion between different groups of pupils.
It is policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours unless it has been specifically confirmed by the school that school uniform is not required.
Items embroidered with the school logo can be purchased from PMG Schoolwear via their website:
