School Uniform
At St Thomas More we are proud of our uniform, as it sets us apart from the other local schools, and all students here are expected to wear the correct uniform at all times.
School uniform can be purchased from the Schoolwear Centre in Nuneaton town centre or visit their website here. Alternatively, items such as trousers, shoes and shirts can be sourced from other retailers at a cheaper cost.
We also have a uniform shop in school which consists of items in good condition that have been donated to the school which we can provide for students at no cost. Please contact us for more information about this option.
All students are required to co-operate with the school uniform policy below.

Where skirts are persistently not worn of the appropriate length or style, an alternative mid-calf length skirt will be provided by the school or students will be told to wear trousers.
