School Uniform
Pupils are encouraged to take pride in their appearance at school. There are a few of St Catharine’s branded compulsory items that are core to the school uniform requirements – these are indicated below. Everything else is widely available from supermarkets and alternative stockists. All children are expected to attend school with neat hair which should be worn tied back. Smart and sensible black shoes which are practical for play and the appropriate weather conditions should be worn. Coats and warm jackets should be practical and appropriate for school.
