Uniform is an important part of the ethos of Woodbrook Vale School. We receive many positive comments about how smart our students look and how well they represent the school. We appreciate the support that parents / carers are able to provide in maintaining these high standards.

PE Uniform

On days that students have PE timetabled students should wear their PE kit to school. They must not wear PE kit on non PE days. Our expectations regarding PE kit are as follows:

• Embroidered PE polo shirt
• Embroidered PE hoodie (now compulsory)
• Black tracksuit bottoms, black shorts or black sports leggings. No hot pant style shorts.
• Trainers suitable for sport (not necessarily black)

These are the only items that will be accepted, and we expect all students to adhere to this.

Students may also be asked to bring a change of footwear depending on the location of their lesson or the type of activity they are participating in (e.g playing on a muddy field).
