School Uniform
St Bart’s school uniform is compulsory for students in Years 7 – 11. Some items of the uniform feature the school logo, which creates a sense of belonging and purpose for students, clarity for parents/carers and staff, and promotes student identity with our Houses.
You can find our school uniform policy on our policies page.
Please note in Years 7-11:
- Full school uniform must be worn on school days, visits, away sports fixtures and by students on duty at school functions, unless directed otherwise.
- Extravagant hairstyles and hair dyed in unnatural or varied colours are not permitted.
- Make-up (including false eyelashes, false nails and coloured nail varnish) is not allowed.
- No jewellery or body piercing is allowed, apart from one plain stud in one or both ears.
- For health and safety reasons, no jewellery is permitted to be worn in PE lessons.
- School shoes must be plain black, low heels (maximum heel height 5cm) and of formal design. Shoes must not be logoed or branded. Boots, canvas shoes or trainers are not permitted (including leather trainers).

Uniform Suppliers
There are two school suppliers for the purchase of new uniform, Skoolkit and West Berkshire Clothing. Both suppliers have online ordering and delivery facilities.

If students outgrow their uniform or leave St Bart’s, we would greatly appreciate donations of any uniform in good condition. Donations can be dropped off at the school Main Reception.
Support for School Uniform
In the interests of inclusion and the maintenance of high standards, the school will provide support for key items of uniform for eligible families. Students will be entitled to support with school uniform when they start in Year 7 if they are eligible for Pupil Premium Funding. Please note unfortunately financial refunds cannot be given for previously purchased items. In the case of extreme hardship, requests for assistance will be considered from families not eligible for Pupil Premium Funding. Any queries can be raised with the House office.
