We consider it important that children attending English Martyrs’ come to school in an appropriate form of dress, which will not only be functional, but will help them to adopt a responsible attitude to the school and the task of learning. The school uniform guidance is encouraged but if you are having any issues with any of the uniform please speak to your class teacher or contact the school office.
