Our school uniform is designed to be comfortable, practical, affordable and smart. We recognise that school uniform costs can place pressure on family budgets and, in line with Department for Education guidance, we aim to keep costs to a minimum by ensuring that most items can be purchased from a range of high street retailers and supermarkets. Branded items are optional unless specifically stated.

We are very proud of our school uniform at Watling Meadows Primary School and believe it promotes:

• A sense of belonging to the school community
• Pride in being a pupil at Watling Meadows
• A smart appearance and focus on learning
• Safeguarding, by helping us identify pupils who belong to our school
• Equality of opportunity for all children

The expectation is that all children wear the uniform listed below. Uniform should be clean, clearly labelled with your child's name and suitable for school activities.

We are committed to supporting families by offering access to good quality pre-loved uniform wherever possible. A selection of donated uniform items is available through the school. Parents and carers who would like to obtain pre-loved uniform, or who wish to donate items that are in good condition, should contact the school office for further information.

If you experience any difficulty obtaining school uniform, please contact the school. We will always do our best to provide advice and support to ensure that every child has access to appropriate uniform.

Please note: uniform can be purchased with or without the school logo.

The school is committed to meeting the requirements of the Department for Education's statutory guidance on the cost of school uniforms and seeks to ensure that uniform remains affordable for all families.

Please note: uniform can be purchased with or without the school logo.
