Uniform

It is our policy that all pupils from Reception to Year 11 wear school uniform when attending school, representing the school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. The aim is that pupils of Wyre Forest School will develop and feel a sense of community and belonging through the wearing of the school uniform. However, we do have a relaxed approach to uniform as we understand the differing needs of our pupils.

We run a swap shop of nearly new uniform, open daily, weather permitting.

Nursery and Sixth Form

Nursery and Sixth Form pupils are not required to wear uniform. However, in these circumstances, the clothing worn by pupils must still follow some fundamental principles:

It must be safe and practical for school use.
It must not promote unacceptable messages – drugs, violence, racism, etc.
The Headteacher or her representative will decide on limits of acceptability.
It must not conceal identity.
Caps, hats or any other headwear are unacceptable within school.

Orders can be placed and paid for through the School Trends website and following the order instructions. Uniform can be purchased from any supermarket - we often have lots of recycled uniform on offer.
