School Uniform

School Uniform
Maryland  Primary School requires all pupils to wear our school uniform.

Our school aims to make sure that school uniform is affordable, and we follow statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform. We understand that items with distinctive characteristics (such as branded items, or items that have to have a
school logo or a unique fabric/colour/design) cannot be purchased from a wide range of retailers and that requiring many such items limits parents’ ability to ‘shop around’ for a low price. We offer a range of Maryland branded items which can be purchased from the school’s uniform shop. Parents also have the option of purchasing alternative items from other shops, as long as these match the school’s colours.

 On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school. The exceptions to this rule are medical alert items, earring studs in pierced ears, and small objects of religious significance. However, parents must realise that wearing such jewellery may cause injury during active times, such as P.E. and playtimes. The school will not be held responsible for loss or damage of jewellery belonging to children.
