COMPULSORY UNIFORM                                                                                                                     

We would like to emphasise the importance of the St Philomena’s School uniform of which outdoor uniform is an integral part and must be worn by all students up to and including Year 11.  Students who defy the school rules by disregarding the school uniform regulations may be sent home.  As appearance is important, hair should not be worn over the eyes and hair styles which the school judge to be extreme will not be allowed.

1.   Outdoor Uniform.  The school blazer over which any plain dark brown, navy or black coat (no fur trim) should be worn in cold or wet weather.  Students must not travel to school in cold or wet weather wearing only their blazer. Coats may be worn at break or lunch time in cold weather and stored in lockers during lessons.

2.   Shoes should support the whole foot:  Shoes which do not firmly grip the upper part of the foot are not suitable.  The heels should be flat, not higher than 3cms.  The colour is plain black or brown.  Bows etc. are not allowed and toes should not be too pointed.  Sling back shoes, ankle strap shoes, fabric or plastic beach-type shoes and black trainers are not suitable.  Boots or ankle boots may never be worn inside the building.

3.   School bag/case – There are three official bags in a variety of capacities and prices. All are plain black backpacks and are available only from Cladish & Co, the school uniform supplier. Initial of Christian name, middle name and surname should be embroidered in bold letters 2.5 cm high and in gold across the front of the bag.

6.   School blouse The school blouse must be tucked into the skirt, and it is not to be regarded as an over-blouse. A white/cream T-Shirt should only be worn under the blouse in cold weather.  

7.  School PE skort/shorts and shirt – Surname should be embroidered in gold across the front of these garments, so that the name is visible when the uniform is worn. For safeguarding reasons, only the initials are required on ‘outdoor PE uniform’ kit bags and school bags. Please note that Cladish, our uniform suppliers, provide an embroidery service.
