The West Bridgford School

 

UNIFORM

 

All items of uniform can be purchased from our school shop. Purchasing items from the shop is highly recommended. We have a strict uniform code and the only way that parents can be certain that uniform is correct is to purchase it from the school shop.

 

The school reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any child whose uniform does not comply with these requirements. For persistent offenders this could result in the child forfeiting their place in the school. The judgement of the Director of Learning will be final in these matters.

 

The following tables provide information on uniform for pupils at The West Bridgford School.
