Uniform

Changes to school uniform from September 2022

From September 2022 there will be no requirement for parents of Rockland St Mary Primary School to purchase any item of branded school uniform from any specific supplier. Parents will need to ensure that uniform follows the school requirements which are provided below, but can purchase uniform items from any retailer.

Whilst stocks last, parents are welcome to continue to purchase and use branded items and there is no expectation that parents will need to replace branded items with non-branded items. However, the school will not be ordering any additional branded items from suppliers.

Rockland St Mary Primary School also encourages all parents to share unwanted items, branded or unbranded, using the School’s Uniform Exchange service that happens several times throughout the academic year.

If you are struggling to access any item of uniform during the school year, please contact the school office for guidance and support.

If you WOULD like to purchase some branded uniform (not compulsory) there is a sale on at Stevensons:
