KS3 Uniform Guide
|
KS3 Girl |
KS3 Boy |
School uniform creates a sense of belonging and gives us a clear identity to unite behind, which we can then promote pride in. This pride helps us raise standards. The staff and governors of the school believe that wearing a uniform helps to raise both standards in academic work and behaviour. It also increases our presence in the community. An information booklet in the form of a 'School Uniform Guide' is available to parents and provides further details relating to School Uniform.
Uniform Shop Opening Hours during Term Time
During term time the school uniform shop will only be open for parents/carers to purchase uniform at the following times:
8am - 8.25am
3pm - 3.30pm
Students can of course purchase uniform themselves before school, during break, during lunch or after school by going to the Student Services Desk.
Payment by card or cash (but we ask that where possible the right amount of cash is provided). Cheques will be acceptable made payable to 'St Edmund's Catholic School'.
Please note that parent pay is not available for existing students to purchase their uniform.
Any uniform queries can be emailed to uniformshop@saintedmunds.org.uk
Friends of St Edmunds PTA, Uniform Exchange Mission
Established in September 2022, the Uniform Exchange’s mission is to provide nearly new school uniform, PE Kits and other school essentials to any St Edmund’s Student.
This project encourages students as well as families to consider the needs of others and the environment. This project highlights the social implications of disguarding good school uniforms to landfill, when others are able to make use of it.
Families are encouraged to donate any uniform to St Edmund’s Catholic School Reception, where it is organised by a dedicated team of PTA volunteers, for in school uniform sales. Any surplus uniform is then redistributed to other Portsmouth based charities.
The Uniform Exchange also offers a ‘Swap Shop’ option whereby you are able to swap a like for like item for a different size. Please follow our Facebook page for dates on the next uniform sale.
