Uniform

School Uniform

At St Michael's CE Primary Academy, we believe that wearing a school uniform helps children feel part of our school family and promotes a sense of belonging, pride and equality. Our uniform is designed to be practical, affordable and comfortable, enabling pupils to fully participate in all aspects of school life.

We ask all families to support our uniform expectations so that children come to school ready to learn and represent our school community positively. Full details of our uniform requirements, PE kit expectations, purchasing information and related policies can be found in the documents linked below.

Our PTFA hold regular second-hand uniform sales which offer out grown uniform in good, clean condition.

We also offer optional St Michael’s book bags, which can be ordered on the School MCAS app.

Uniform with a logo is available from Thomas Moore, Exeter. We expect all our children to wear a school jumper or cardigan carrying our logo. All other items can be purchased from any High Street store or supermarket.

Don't forget to label everything!

Thank you for your support in helping our pupils look smart, feel confident and take pride in being members of St Michael's CE Primary Academy.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE label all clothes, shoes, coats, glovers, scarves etc! Whilst this doesn't guarantee recovery, it does make it much more likely.

Named clothing found will be returned to your child's class periodically. Any un-named lost property is placed in the lost property chest in the foyer outside the school office. Unclaimed items will be donated to the PTFA clothing sale at the end of each half term.
