Senior Uniform

Our school uniform provides pupils with a strong sense of identity

We set high expectations with clear standards on uniform to ensure that pupils look smart and take pride in their appearance. Accordingly, we require that all pupils adhere to the rules on uniform, including make-up, jewellery and hair styles. Parents are asked to support us by ensuring that their children wear the correct items, and that these items are renewed as necessary.

Crested Schoolwear are our uniform suppliers, and full details can be found below:

We make no apologies for having exceptionally high standards in this area and appreciate the continued support from home in ensuring our pupils are always well turned out. There are many benefits to having a uniform, not least that it:

  • fosters a sense of belonging and spirit of teamwork amongst pupils

  • instils a sense of discipline

  • requires children to seek other means to express their creativity

  • makes it easy to recognise those who belong to our school.

Our School uniform is stocked by Crested School Wear, 7 Park Street, Walsall, WS1 1LY. Their telephone number is 01922 276266.

Parents are encouraged to either buy uniform online at www.crestedschoolwear.co.uk or visit the shop. Their opening hours are 9.30am – 5.00pm, Monday to Saturday.
