School Uniform Rules
All children should wear school uniform at St George's Primary School.
It helps them be identified as part of our school community. We also believe that it helps develop a positive attitude in school. From a young age, we encourage our children to; 'look smart, act smart and feel smart'.
Clear guidance on school uniform is published below.
We have worked hard to simplify uniform and try to make it as affordable as possible.
Uniform can be bought from lots of retailers, including Wallasey Uniform Shop, in Manor Road, Uniform ID in Hoylake and Birkenhead Uniform Shop. he school does not sell school uniform.
We don’t insist on 'logo' embroidered uniform, allowing parents to access cheaper uniform from the high street.
While Tesco is no longer providing the school with a uniform service, the company that they have been using will continue to supply us. This will be the same price same quality and efficiency as the parent log-ins will all remain the same. The only change to parents is the link to access the site - www.myclothing.com
You can also buy at ID Clothing. Their website address is: https://www.iduniforms.co.uk/product-category/school-uniforms/primary-schools/
Note that plain black trainers are allowed instead of shoes. Children should not wear coloured trainers to school. Children can wear shoes in years 3 and 6 and change into plain black trainers at breaktime or lunchtime.

In the summer children may choose to wear:

Children can also purchase school coats and book-bags. These are optional items.
No jewellery should be worn in school. It provides too many health and safety risks for children.
Small studs will be allowed. Note that children are not allowed to wear earrings for physical education. This is a health and safety requirement.
Our staff are not responsible for accidents caused by the contact of ear studs or jewellery with equipment or other children. Teachers are not responsible for the removal of ear studs, although we will provide tape for cover if requested.
PE Kit
The PE kit comprises of blue/black shorts/jogging bottoms/leggings and white t-shirt and soft pumps which should be worn on PE days.
Children may use trainers and tracksuits if they are outside.
The Y5/6 children go swimming. Costumes are:
- A swimming costume and swimming cap. Bikinis are not allowed.
- Swimming trunks, NOT loose shorts. Letters will be sent home informing you when your child is undertaking swimming lessons.
Parents/carers are asked to name all clothes and check frequently that names are still legible. Although we have lost property bins, countless items of clothing go missing. The school is not responsible for lost clothing.
Look Smart – Act Smart – Think Smart
Please note that parents and carers will be contacted if children are not following the school's uniform policy.
