At Dodworth St John’s, we are proud to be one school community and our uniform reflects this important value. It promotes a sense of togetherness, helping every child to feel included, respected and connected to those around them. Wearing a school uniform fosters pride in our school, strengthens a shared sense of belonging and helps children recognise that they are part of something bigger than themselves. Alongside these benefits, our uniform is designed to be practical and smart for everyday learning.
Occasionally, items of clothing can be misplaced in school. To help ensure they are quickly returned, we ask that all clothing and footwear is clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Children should not wear makeup including nail polish or temporary tattoos.

Purchasing Uniform
We recognise the importance of keeping school uniform affordable for families. For this reason, the majority of our uniform can be purchased from a range of local and national retailers, allowing parents and carers to choose the option that best suits their budget. Uniform items, including the Year 6 school tie, can also be purchased directly from Vortex Clothing.
