Today we celebrate St John Baptist Feast Day! As the forerunner of Christ, John dedicated his life to preparing our hearts for the Saviour. Through his call to repentance and his humble spirit, he reminds us to seek the light and truth in our own lives pic.twitter.com/0TIagEZ9e8— StJohnsAberdare () June 24, 2025

Uniform Expectations

School uniform is compulsory for all pupils. We expect pupils to attend school dressed smartly in correct uniform at all times. We believe that first impressions count and, by continually reinforcing our standards of uniform and appearance, we aim to prepare our pupils for the world of work. Furthermore, our uniform sets the foundations for high standards in other aspects of school life, including a positive work ethic and conduct in and around school.

We recognise that, for families, purchasing uniform and ensuring a child arrives to school dressed appropriately can be a stressful time. To ensure clarity, the school has created a uniform guide designed to support families, and students, with the process by outlining our expectations which, in turn, will help everyone understand our expectations.

Our intention is to ensure that students look smart but not at the undue expense of families. We have ensured as a school that the cost of our uniform is affordable yet of the highest quality.

Key Stage 3 (Year 7, 8 and 9), and Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and 11)

  • Navy blazer with school badge*;
  • Plain white shirt, short or long-sleeved with collar;
  • School tie*;
  • Grey jumper and school badge*‡;
  • Choice of either a charcoal grey skirt; tailored trousers; or tailored shorts (this option may only be worn during summer term only);
  • Flesh, black or grey plain tights or knee socks (white/grey/black); and
  • All black ‘formal’ leather shoes (please see relevant section on unacceptable footwear).

Sixth Form Uniform

  • Navy blazer with school badge or Sixth Form jumper with school badge*;
  • Plain white shirt, short or long-sleeved with collar;

We ask that all items of school uniform and sports kit are clearly marked with the student’s name for ease of identification.
