School Uniform
At St Joseph's, we firmly believe that our uniform promotes a sense of pride and gives the school a strong and positive identity in the local community. School uniform is compulsory and the Governors thank parents for adhering to the School ethos on uniform, which emphasises traditional values, neatness and tidiness. Extreme hairstyle, trainers and boots do not fit this ethos and are not permitted.

ALL ITEMS OF CLOTHING MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED WITH THE CHILD’S NAME.
School sweatshirts and polo shirts may be purchased from OHM Clothing retail shop which is based in Devizes or Scholars retail shop in Devizes. There maybe a selection of good quality second hand uniform available from the School Office.
Our weather often changes throughout the course of the school day and unfortunately summer cannot be relied upon for warm and sunny weather. Please ensure that your child brings a coat and at least a sweatshirt during summer months. Children can be very unhappy if they are cold during break times.
