School uniform
St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School Uniform
At St. Patrick’s, we believe that children learn best when they are active, engaged and able to move throughout the school day. We place a strong emphasis on physical activity and outdoor learning, providing opportunities for children to be active both in lessons and during playtimes.
Our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) approach encourages children to develop their physical skills, resilience, creativity and independence through active play and exploration. As a result, children are often moving between indoor and outdoor environments and taking part in a range of physical activities throughout the day.
For this reason, we encourage children to wear the St. Patrick’s school tracksuit. The tracksuit is practical, comfortable and well suited to our active learning environment, allowing children to participate fully in all aspects of school life while remaining smart and representing our school with pride.
Branded school uniforms can be purchased online from Kitted Out, or you can visit the Aigburth Road shop at 333 Aigburth Road, Liverpool, L17 0BL. Please click the link to view our school uniform.
Families are also welcome to purchase non-branded school uniform items from other retailers if they wish. Please speak to school if you are experiencing difficulties purchasing uniform, as we may be able to offer support.
Throughout the year, we aim to hold Uniform Swap events, where good-quality second-hand uniform items are available free of charge to families.
For children in nursery and reception
Due to the majority of nursery and reception curriculum taking place outside and being very physical, we find it is far better for the children to wear tracksuits as they are much more comfortable. Please be mindful, that your child may get dirty!

- Mobile phones are not allowed within the school – this is to stop anything happening to it or it goes missing.
