Uniform without the school logo can be purchased from any shop, however, parents that want to purchase uniform embroidered with the school logo can purchase everything from Matilda and Jack who have a shop in Ripley or Loopwear who have a shop front in Ilkeston and an online ordering service. You can find a price list for Matlida and Jack below and links to both companies websites. At St. John's we want to support local businesses and do not want to let nationally based companies manage our school uniform provision. 

No makeup, including nail varnish, or jewellery, other than stud earrings and religious bangles are to be worn. Any jewellery can be taken off a child and the child can be told that the parent needs to come and collect it off the teacher.
