St.Patricks PS School Uniform Policy - 2026

11th Jun 2026

Dear Parents,

Please see our new school uniform policy, which we have consulted on all relevant stakeholders and is in line with the Department of Education legislation.

Our uniform has a small number of branded items but more non-branded items.

For 26/27, we do not intend to make any changes to our school uniforms but will introduce a phased introduction of a half zip to replace the current hoodie.

The policy was approved by the Governors on 9th June.
