What to wear in nursery

Children can wear their own clothes for nursery.  We have a royal blue hoodie which they wear on the top and these are sold at Clive Marks Schoolwear. They have the school logo embroidered on them. These are also worn as PE kit when the children are in the main school.

What to wear in school

At St. John’s School we have a uniform which we are really proud of. Visitors to school often comment on how smart our children are. You can buy our uniform from Clive Mark Schoolwear in Poplar Road, Kings Heath. Clive marks recommend you order online https://www.clivemark.co.uk/.  Some items are available from the school office and you can buy some parts of the uniform from the large supermarkets. If you are finding it hard to buy all of the uniform then please ask us as we also have a supply of second-hand uniform that has been donated to us. 

• Light blue blouse/shirt (short-sleeved or long-sleeved)
• Blue summer dress
• School tie (available from school)
• Royal blue v-neck pullover or cardigan with logo 
• Grey skirt, dress or trousers
• Grey, blue or white socks/tights
• Black flat-heeled school shoes
• Dark coloured or white sandals in Summer
• Trainers and boots are not allowed

The full PE kit is listed below:

Jewellery in school

Please do not let your child attend school wearing jewellery. It can easily cause injury or get lost especially during PE or playtime. Children who have pierced ears should only wear studs – but even the butterflies can cause an injury. Anything worn for religious reasons must be removed or covered for PE.

Personal property

Please do not send your child to school with large amounts of money or other expensive items such as ipods, phones etc. Parents sending any money to school e.g. for dinners or school visits, should seal it inside an envelope and write on it the child’s name, class and what the money is for. We would prefer items to be paid via our parent mail system.

We cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to children’s property. Please always put your child's name and class on all their belongings.  You are advised to cover your children’s property on home insurance. Better still, avoid sending items of value into school.

Lost property

Lost properly baskets are situated in both Key Stages.  This can be located by the library.  If you feel that you have a lost PE kit, please see Mrs Bhardwa.  Please encourage your child to look in the baskets if they believe they have lost something. These baskets are cleared at the end of each term.
