School Uniform
School uniform is an important part of the ethos of the school. It is a statement about belonging to the school family. We encourage children to take a pride in their school and this is demonstrated by the way in which they wear their uniform.
You can obtain all uniform (both badged and non-badged) from the "Skoolkit" Shop in Newbury http://www.skoolkit.co.uk or from Fosters Schoolwear via their website www.fostersschoolwear.co.uk/shop/StFinians
Please make sure children wear sensible footwear, have a coat in school (just in case) and all clothing is clearly named. Jewellery is not permitted. Please ensure that hair accessories reflect our school green colours and be of a modest size.
