Merley First School

School Uniform

Parents are asked that children wear the school uniform, which has been chosen in consultation with parents’ representatives, to be easily purchased at a moderate cost. It is regularly reviewed to ensure that all items are readily obtainable and keep in touch with modern clothing practice and fashion for children. All items, except for a printed t-shirt and a sweatshirt, can be obtained from chain stores, supermarkets, etc. The printed t-shirts and sweatshirts are available online from Brigade.
