St. Clare Uniform Questions

My son has been at St Clair's since February, so I'm just going by how it works at his school.  My daughter is due to start soon at primary though.

1.  Yes the shoes need to be black.
2. They don't change the shoes, they go to school in the PE kit and stay in it.
3. Yes, it's the same uniform.  My son who's 15 and my daughter who's 4 both have the same uniform.
4.  No, they don't need to wear the school anoraks they can wear their own.
5.  The PE kit is a short sleeve t-shirt for summer, a long sleeve one for winter, plus a track suit and a pair of shorts. 
6. No, you can't use the PE t-shirts for regular days because they're different. On non PE days it's either a polo shirt in summer, or shirt in winter.
7.  I can't help with where to buy the trainers, Clarks had them for my daughter but my son says not everybody wears white at his school so hasn't gone for white.

When you go to Yorkie, they'll give you what you need and then ask if you want extra of anything.

Thanks for your reply!

1. I already bought new shoes for my children.  But today, the secretary said the shoes are supposed to be black even though the form did not indicate so.  Must the children wear black shoes at primary?

yes, they must wear black shoes or sneakers 3 days a week, other 2 days white one

2. If the PE shoes are to be white, do the children wear one pair to school then change into the white pairs for PE during the day?

no, on PE day they come to school in white sneakers

3. My older child will be going to secondary next year.  Do St. Clare secondary schools use the same uniforms as the primary or do the colors/designs change?

don't know that

4. Anoraks -- Are the children required to wear school anoraks or can they wear any random anorak?

random one, we had spiderman, now we have pirates with a bottle of rum

(kidding about the rum part )

5. What constitutes the tracksuit for PE?

don't understand a question - normal tracksuit, only this one is in school colours
summer one: shorts + t-shirt (both with school amblem)

6. Could I buy just extra PE t-shirts for regular school days or are they different from the non-PE shirts?

if you are speaking for winter uniform, it's totaly different and the answer is NO
for summer one, difference is that for regular school days they have polo t-shirt, so theoretically you could, but why making your child stick out with wrong outfit, just to save couple of euros?

7. Where is a good place to buy the "PE Slippers" -- trainers/snakers? -- if they are not provided by Yorkie Mix & Match?

I buy for my son on sportsdirect, on malta check eurosport or urban jungle

I am unfamiliar with the term "tracksuit."  I guess it must be British.

Oh, yes, my children have had to long suffer my miserliness.  And I would pull it off for this one, too, if the colors were the same.  Builds character!
