School Uniform
St Michael’s School Uniform
We believe uniform is important, it gives the children a sense of belonging and community. However, traditional school uniforms are restrictive and do not encourage children to be active and adventurous. We have therefore adopted an active school uniform that can be worn for class learning, P.E lessons, break and lunchtime and Outdoor Learning lessons.
Why? An active uniform reduces obesity and poor physical health through the promotion of an active, playful and healthy lifestyle. It promotes better mental health by freeing children up to be children and to play and be more active throughout the whole day. And finally, it saves our families money as it it cheap to buy and negates the need for a separate PE kit.

Hair
Long hair should be tied back during the school day. Please use plain headbands, clips or bobbles that complement the school uniform.
Jewellery
The only jewellery the school permits a child to wear is a plain small wrist watch and/or plain small studs for earrings. Pupils with earrings must remove them for PE. Other items are not permissible in school.
Head Dress
The school recognises that some faiths require a headdress to be worn and this is welcomed.
