The school uniform ultimately cultivates a sense of belonging to the school community which is Scoil Naomh Pádraig. The uniform is an important image of the school and it strengthens a child’s association with the school community. A neat and tidy uniform helps our pupils to understand the importance of presentation and personal appearance.
The uniform is as follows:
Girls and Boys in Junior and Senior Infants Classes
Tracksuit only
Royal blue crested school tracksuit (half zip sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms or shorts) with pale blue crested polo shirt (short/long-sleeved). Runners with Velcro fasteners should be worn in the infant classes. Long hair should be tied back daily.
Girls in 1st – 4th Class
Uniform
Royal blue round-neck crested jumper, royal blue ‘Hunter’ pinafore or royal blue ‘Hunter’ skirt (3rd – 6th class) or navy ‘Hunter’ trousers and crested polo shirt (short/long-sleeved). Black shoes or fully-back runners (no logos/other colours) are to be worn with the uniform.

Royal blue crested school tracksuit (half zip sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms or shorts) with pale blue crested polo shirt (short/long-sleeved). Runners are worn with the tracksuit.

Used
The Parents’ Association often runs a ‘Uniform Swap Shop’ at the end of June each year. Full details will be communicated with you by the PA. This is a great opportunity to save some money whilst re-using uniform items that are still in very good condition – thus encouraging sustainability.
Last notes
Proper runners
Please ensure that your child’s runners provide sufficient protection and support i.e. they are a proper running shoe, (no Vans, Converse etc.).
Name tags
Please make sure your child’s name is clearly visible on all items of their uniform/tracksuit, gloves, coats, scarves, hats etc.
