School Uniform

St Patrick’s takes great pride in the appearance and conduct of its pupils. Wearing correct uniform makes sure our pupils look and feel smart and identifies them as members of one of the top schools in Salford and the North West. In accepting a place at St Patrick’s, parents/guardians agree to ensure that regulations relating to uniform and general appearance are complied with. Appearance reflects school standards and the school uniform must be worn. In our experience, neglect and carelessness in school dress often indicate deterioration in behaviour and work. Parents are asked to mark all garments and equipment with their child’s name to facilitate their return in the event of loss.
