Uniform Raising the Standard

Improved Standards

Maintaining the Standard Much has been achieved in the last few years to improve the standard of uniform and we thank all parents for their support with this. We encourage you to continue to join us in a concerted effort to maintain the standard of uniform in Williamwood.

Dressing for Excellence Our policy on uniform is set out in the school handbook. Please click on the link below for the council and school policy on uniform: Dressing for Excellence

S6 Blazer S6 blazers have blue braiding. Prefects have additional green braiding on the cuffs, deputes have silver and the head boy and head girl have gold. The Prices vary according to size.

S5 Blazer S5 blazers have braiding on the pockets and sleeves. The additional S6 braiding is added at the end of the year. This allows pupils two years’ wear from their blazers and so provides better value for money. Prices vary according to size.

S1-S4 Blazer Polyester or Eco blazer Wool blazer Most parents choose the polyester blazer with embroidered badge. A woollen blazer is also available. Prices vary according to size.

Outdoor Jackets When outdoor jackets are worn to school, perhaps due to adverse weather, they should be plain and have no obvious logos. This has always been and remains the uniform policy at Williamwood. Outdoor jackets should be removed once in the school building. Please note that we are able to provide every pupil with an individual locker. The lockers provide our pupils with somewhere to store their outside jackets.
