School Uniform
“The way we present ourselves to the world reflects our respect for others and ourselves.”
At St. Sebastian’s Catholic Primary School, we believe that wearing our school uniform helps to create a sense of community, pride and equality among our pupils. Our uniform reflects our school identity and values and we ask that all children wear it neatly and with pride. It also supports a focused learning environment and encourages respect for ourselves and others.
Please see below for full details regarding uniform, including guidance for PE kit, winter and summer variations and optional items.

Jewellery
For health and safety reasons, children are not permitted to wear jewellery at school. This includes earrings (including studs), bracelets, rings, necklaces, chains worn under clothing and any other adornments.
The only exception is a wristwatch (non-electronic & in line with safeguarding systems and procedures).
If your child has recently had their ears pierced, they must cover earrings with plasters while at school. If your child attends school wearing earrings, they will be offered microporous tape (breathable & low allergy) to cover them up in order to reduce the risk of injuries occurring.
In relation to jewellery, we will be sensitive to the needs of different cultures, races and religions and will act reasonably in accommodating these needs without compromising safety or discipline.
We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe and focused learning environment for all pupils.
Water Bottles
All children should bring a water bottle into school every day. This can be refilled by children at key points during the day.
Water bottles should be plastic or metal.
Water bottles must be clearly labelled with the pupil’s name.
Presentation
It is the policy of St Sebastian’s Catholic Primary School & Nursery that all children are expected to wear school uniform and look smart from the moment they arrive at school. Uniform helps to develop a sense of identity and equality between children and reinforces the high expectations we have in the school.
- Hair accessories must be small and simple and, if possible, complement the uniform, i.e. (navy blue). Your child will be asked to remove large, inappropriate hair accessories. For those children with long hair, if a bobble has been lost or not provided, school will give the child a hair accessory.
- The wearing of make-up, acrylic nails or nail varnish is not permitted.
