School Uniform

School uniform plays a key role in promoting pride, self-confidence, and a feeling of belonging within the school community. These factors contribute to students' wellbeing, removing the additional pressures of deciding what to wear and added stress of meeting the expectations of their peers.

We encourage our children to look presentable at school at all times. Children with long hair should have it tied up with a simple hair bobble and jewellery other than watches and plain stud earrings should not be worn.

With regard to piercings, our policy follows the advice issued by the Association for Physical Education which 'strongly recommends the practice of removing all personal effects at the commencement of every lesson to establish a safe working environment.'

As many of the children at Sacred Heart may find removing their piercings a little tricky, we ask that these are removed at home. Children come into school wearing their PE kits on PE days which will hopefully help as reminder to remove earrings.

There is only one set of uniform worn throughout the year. Images of the school uniform as well as our PE kit are shown below. Crested uniform is only available to order from our supplier, School Uniform Direct: - www.schooluniformdirect.co.uk.

A crested school jumper/cardigan, a red crested polo shirt and a blue crested PE polo shirt are compulsory. Non crested uniform (trousers, shorts, skirts, pinafores, socks and shoes) can be purchased from any general retailer.

We also run a pre loved sustainable  uniform shop where ALL items of school uniform can be purchased at a vastly reduced cost – please contact the school office for details. Should you require any financial assistance in purchasing school uniform, you may be able to seek financial assistance from The Henley Educational Trust. Please contact the school office for further information.
