At St Mary’s we take great pride in our uniform. Our uniform provides a symbol of our commitment to the school, its practices and most importantly will make us all look and feel the same: all equal members of God’s family.
The school badge will be blue, as will our tie to represent the blue of Mary. The colour blue has been interpreted to represent Mary’s purity, symbolise the skies, and label her as an empress, for blue was associated with Byzantine royalty.
Parents/Carers can purchase plain items of uniform in the correct colours from a supermarket or emblazoned with a school logo from Lollipops. Our uniform is available to order from Lollipops in Middlesbrough. Please click on the link below. Uniform can be delivered to school or you can collect from the shop.

Schools have a duty of care to ensure students are able to participate actively without unnecessarily endangering themselves or those working around them. On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear jewellery in our school (this includes earrings).
In line with guidance from The Association for Physical Education (afPE) children are required to remove watches during PE lessons to prevent them from causing injury.
The school advises parents who wish their children to have their ears pierced to do so at the beginning of the school summer holidays.
