School Uniform

In order to help create a sense of community there is a school uniform which it is expected all St Ignatius children will wear. All items of clothing and footwear must be clearly marked with your child’s name. Earrings and other jewellery are a potentially dangerous hazard and must not be worn at school.

Most of the uniform is readily available in local shops and department stores. We also have a uniform partnership with Marks and Spencer; however there is no obligation to use them.

Below is the St Ignatius school uniform (* indicates items only available from Marks & Spencer online – click here for M&S uniform)

Open-toed or open-heeled sandals are not permitted for health and safety reasons. Children should have a change of footwear for inside the school building. Pumps are suitable for this purpose.

 

PE Kit

All children must change for PE and they should be able to do so with minimal help from staff. PE clothes should be kept in a pump bag or similar. All items of PE clothing and footwear must be clearly marked with your child’s name.

Indoor PE

• Boys and girls will need a white T-shirt and a pair of dark blue shorts. These should be plain in design, with no drawstrings to catch on apparatus.
