School Uniform

At St. James & St. John, pupils must wear the correct uniform each school day.

 

Our school uniform can be ordered from

 https://www.stitchdesign.co.uk/uniform/St_James_and_St_Johns_CE_Primary_School_W2_3QD



  • Once registered, you can make your order and pay for it online.
  • If you do not have access to the Internet, please contact the School Office who will provide you with an order form, which you should complete and send to Stitch Design.
  • All items with your uniform shop, and their prices, have been fully approved by the School.
  • The School’s uniform policy is available at the top of the uniform shop page to help you if you are in any doubt about the uniform that you need.
  • An on-screen sizing guide is available next to each item on the shop. As a general guide, use chest or waist measurements to determine which size you need, rather than relying totally on age sizes, as of course children’s sizes vary within ages, and manufacturers' choices of ages for their garments are also somewhat arbitrary and subjective.
  • Please double check your confirmation email to ensure that everything on your order is correct.
  • Any problems in supply will be communicated to you by the despatch note, which can be found in the front window of your parcel entitled, “Documents enclosed”.
  • If you have any problems, please consult the “Instructions and FAQ’s for Parents” page. Please contact Stitch Design if your problem persists (Tel : 01256 771999).
  • If you need to return any items, please contact Stitch Design. They have a team ready and able to help you.

Name Labels

 

All uniforms should be clearly labelled with the child’s name. In the event that clothing is mislaid, it will be returned to your child's class teacher if found.

 

Hair and Jewellery

 

Items of jewellery are unsuitable for primary school pupils to wear during the school day. Rings, necklaces, brooches and earrings should be left at home. Please ensure that pupils with pierced ears wear only studs to school. Any other piercing is not permitted e.g. nose and eyebrow. Hair that is shoulder length or longer needs to be tied back or secured with an alice band. Small hair bands, scrunchies and slides should be red, grey or black.

 

Please do not send your child to school with extreme hair fashions, including dyed hair, closely shaven hair or images or shapes cut into the hair.
