School Uniform at St Mary & St John
We want our children to look smart when at school and feel proud to wear their uniform. Our uniform policy is outlined below.
At Mary and John, we wear a school uniform to:
- encourage pride in belonging to St Mary and St John CE Primary School.
- enable children to be comfortable, safe and secure
- protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way
- encourage a sense of equality and cohesion
- support teaching and learning
Uniform is available from the Brigade website, but we want to keep it as affordable as possible. Your child does not need to wear logoed uniform. Simple, affordable uniform can be bought from a supermarket such as Tescos. We also have a lot of pre-loved uniform which can be purchased through the PTA.
In September 2022, we introduced a new logo to the school. If you wish for your child to wear unform with the school logo, the old and new logos will be part of the uniform until children grow out of the older clothes.

All parents can buy our school uniform from the Brigade website. When you first register with the Brigade website you will need to enter “St Mary & St John” into the ‘new customer’ box.
