--- title: "Uniform" url: "https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/uniform" school: "St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery" --- # Uniform ![](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/images/Heart_school(1).jpg) #### Our School Uniform. All children from Foundation Stage to Year 6 are expected to wear school uniform, we want this to be an outward expression of pride at being a member of the St Matthew's school family. Our uniform has been chosen so that it is reasonably inexpensive to buy and easy to obtain; we are extremely mindful of the cost of uniform. The only item we ask to have the school logo on is the school jumper / cardigan and are available from one of the two suppliers listed at the bottom of the page. All other items can be sourced from wherever parents are able to. We want our children to look smart and to wear their uniform with pride. A high standard of appearance is usually an indication of good discipline, self-awareness and responsibility. These are points which we believe it is important to emphasise to our children. If children come to school wearing incorrect uniform, we will be asking themto change into the correct uniform from the spares we have in school. - A red school jumper or cardigan with the school logo - Grey trousers (no joggers or leggings) - Grey skirt or pinafore dress with grey tights or grey socks - Black school shoes - White shirt / polo shirt - Hijabs (if worn) must be plain black and shoulder length. They should have no decoration. For safety reasons, only stud earrings to be worn (only if children are able to remove them by themselves) no necklaces or bracelets. **In summer:** Checked red dress or grey (tailored) shorts. White tights or white socks. (after the Easter break up until October half term). ### Uniform [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/gallery/uniform/Uniform_1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/gallery/uniform/Uniform_1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/gallery/uniform/uniform_2.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/gallery/uniform/uniform_2.jpg) #### In PE - **Red** t-shirt with school logo - **Black** shorts or leggings - **Black** PE pumps or trainers ### PE Uniform [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/pe-uniform/SAM_3350.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/gallery/pe-uniform/SAM_3350.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/pe-uniform/SAM_3339.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/gallery/pe-uniform/SAM_3339.JPG) ***The approved suppliers of our school uniform are:*** [***Smart Uniforms, 54 Lancaster Road, Preston (opposite the Town Hall) (Tel: 01772 200842)***](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Smart+uniforms+ltd/@53.7601216,-2.7003163,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x487b7265777576a7:0x3dfc54815432300d!8m2!3d53.7601216!4d-2.6981276) [***Top One Uniforms, 39 St John's Centre, Preston (opposite the bus station) (Tel: 01772 828616)***](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Top+One+Uniforms+(School+Uniforms)/@53.7605629,-2.6999762,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x487b726f84f3d461:0x47d578372e7bbfed!8m2!3d53.7605597!4d-2.6977875) ### Parents - [Admissions](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/admissions) - [Term Dates and Holidays](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/termdates) - [Uniform](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/uniform) - [Clubs and Extra-Curricular](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/childcare-provisions) - [Breakfast Provision](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/breakfast-provision) - [School Lunch Menu](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/school-lunch-menu) - [School News](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/news) - [Online Safety](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/internet-safety) - [Parent View](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/parent-view) - [PTFA](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/ptfa) - [Annual Survey Feedback](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/annual-parent-survey-2025) - [Childcare Offer and Charges](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/parents/childcare-offer-and-charges) - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
