School Uniform
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 students at The West Bridgford School.
At the bottom of this page, you will find links and details of our School Uniform provider, Just Schoolwear.
Our School Uniform
Blazer |
School blazer with school badge. Blazers may be removed on the field at lunchtime, in classrooms when permission is given by the teacher, and during summer when a notice is put on the Student Bulletin Board. |
Skirt |
A fully pleated skirt, in plain mid-grey. The skirt should not be tightly tailored or of a stretchy Lycra type material. It must not be split above the knee. The hemline of the skirt should be on the knee with a tolerance of 5cm either above or below the knee. |
Trousers |
Classic suit style trousers in mid-grey, worn at the waist (with a plain buckled black belt – optional) and touching the foot with a crease down the front and zip fly front. Tight fitting or cropped trousers are not acceptable. No stretch fabrics, jeans style, turn ups or flares. |
Blouse or shirt and clip-on tie |
School blouse must be buttoned to the top. White shirt must be tucked in at all times and the top button done up. Sleeves must not be rolled up but short sleeved shirts may be worn. This must be worn with a West Bridgford school clip-on tie. |
Shoes |
Plain sensible polishable flat black shoes with no visible markings or logos. No boots. Suede is not acceptable. |
Jumper (optional) |
A school jumper may optionally be worn in addition to the blazer. No other jumper is permissible. |
Socks or tights |
Grey, black or navy plain socks. Grey, black or skin coloured tights. No leggings, footless tights or patterned tights. There is no intention that socks and tights should be worn together. No trainer socks. |
Coat |

Jewellery, make-up and nails |
None, except that students with pierced ears may wear only small plain metallic studs – one per ear. No other studs are permissible. No nail varnish or false nails. No excessive make-up. |
Hair |
There should be no extreme hairstyles or unnatural variations in the colour or length of hair which have the effect of drawing attention to the student concerned. |

Undergarments should be plain white and must not contain lettering which may be visible through the blouse or shirt. |
Bags |
These should be fit for purpose in that they are big enough to hold books and equipment required for the day |
