Our uniform is based around Post Office red and grey and we wear it with pride.

Uniform

All children from Foundation Stage to Year 6 are expected to wear school uniform.
The St Luke and St Philip's uniform has been chosen so that it is reasonably inexpensive to purchase and easy to obtain. We are a poverty proofed school so we are extremely mindful of the cost of uniform. Parents can choose whether they want to purchase uniform with the school badge on or plain uniform. We collect uniform donations throughout the year and this is offered to parents/ carers at our Celebration Assemblies across the school year, for a donation. 

We want our children to look smart and to wear their uniform with pride. A high standard of appearance is usually an indication of good discipline, self-awareness, and responsibility. These are points which we believe it is important to emphasise to our children.

Children are required to wear the following::

  • red jumper/cardigan
  • Year 6 pupils only – plum sweatshirt
  • grey skirt/trousers
  • white polo shirt/blouse
  • Black sturdy shoes – no heals permitted

Also Black plain head scarfs to a shoulder length if necessary.

Sweatshirts, cardigans, polo shirts, PE T-shirts and book bags with the school logo can all be purchased by local uniform providers  Whittaker's Schoolwear, Blackburn or alternatively you may purchase plain uniform from our local supermarkets and shops.

All clothing should be clearly labelled, and outdoor coats should have strong loops so that they can hang safely on coat pegs.

Hairstyles

Hair should be tied back and secured with a plain bobble if it is long. No fancy hair accessories should be worn during school time. Hair should not be shaved with fancy patterns or track marks.

Jewellery/ Make-up

Pupils are not allowed to wear jewellery for reasons of safety and security. If earrings are worn they must be of the stud type (long dangling earrings are dangerous in a school situation) and your child must be able to remove/replace them unaided before/after PE lessons. Jewellery is not allowed for the following reasons: Necklaces pose a safety risk as they may catch on other children’s clothes and cause serious injury to the wearer’s neck. Rings may cause injury to other pupils, especially during playground games. Pupils can also get distressed when jewellery or watches are mislaid or go missing.

Make-Up (including nail varnish and nail art) is not permitted in school.
