School Uniform

School uniform helps children to feel they belong to the school community and it is practical and smart.

The uniform at St Thomas’ consists of:

  • A grey V-neck jumper or cardigan with a burgundy stripe and the school logo on.
  • Grey trousers (shorts can be worn in summer months).
  • A burgundy skirt or pinafore.
  • A white shirt, long sleeved or short sleeved. Shirts must have a full collar with no frills.
  • The school burgundy and grey striped tie.
  • Black leather type shoes. Trainers, boots and sandals are not permitted.
  • Black, grey or white socks. Grey tights can be worn in the winter.

PE Kit:

  • Burgundy shorts.
  • Burgundy and white PE shirt with the school logo on.
  • Black pumps (trainers can be worn for outdoor PE).

A plain grey or black tracksuit can be worn for outdoor PE lessons when the weather is cold.

All items of uniform and PE kit need to be named. Without a name they can become easily lost and difficult to find.

Hair and accessories:

  • All long hair should be tied back using a plain bobble.
  • Clips, hairbands, bows or other accessories are not allowed.
  • Jewellery is not allowed. Earrings are not permitted under any circumstances. Children who attend school in earrings will be asked to remove them immediately, regardless of when they were pierced. Plasters cannot be used to cover them.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE LAW
REGARDING PENALTY NOTICES FOR
UNAUTHORISED ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL

A new National Framework for Penalty Notices for school absence, including unauthorised holiday absence, is being introduced following changes to the law. These new Government regulations will come into effect from 19 August 2024, and we wanted to bring this to your attention now, as it will affect when penalty notices are issued in Wigan.
