Uniform
All pupils are expected to wear school uniform. The uniform has been chosen so that it is reasonably inexpensive to purchase, durable and easy to obtain. The uniform with the embroidered school logo can be found at Skoolkit which has an online shop (www.skoolkit.co.uk) and a store in The Meridian Centre, Havant.
The St James' Association also organises a second-hand uniform sale which can be bought from the school office and at certain school events throughout the year.
The royal blue polo shirts without a school badge can be purchased following the 2 links below:

Other:
Jewellery - In the interests of safety, the wearing of jewellery is not allowed. Only earrings of the ‘stud' type may be worn in plain silver or gold only. Studs must be removed for P.E. without exception by the child or covered with school tape. We recommend that ear piercing should take place at the beginning of the summer holiday so allowing time for healing.
Watches may be worn, but the school cannot accept responsibility for any damage or loss that may occur. Please ensure they are named. During PE watches must be removed and placed in the teacher's drawer. However, such items are not the responsibility of the school and we discourage children from wearing expensive jewellery or watches on the premises.
Hair - long hair when it reaches below the shoulders must be tied up. Fashion items or items which compromise safety are not permitted in children's hair. Ribbons or hair accessories must be blue in colour and kept minimal.
Make up and nail varnish are not permitted.
Shoes - should be black, sensible and comfortable. Shoes with spiked or high heels should not be worn. Open-toed shoes are discouraged for Health and Safety reasons (crushed toes) and sling backs are not allowed.
Bags - A school rucksack is available from Skoolkit. A draw-string bag should be provided so that PE and Games clothing may be kept safely. Bags should be of a reasonable size, as larger styles are very difficult to store.
All clothing should be clearly labelled, and outdoor coats should have strong loops to ensure they can be hung correctly on pegs.
