Ready to Learn at Allestree Woodlands
Allestree Woodlands School believes that uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of the school and setting an appropriate tone. It is our policy that all students should wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school organised event outside normal school hours. A complete list of compulsory school logo branded items, compulsory non-branded items and optional items of uniform is included below.
We believe that a school uniform:
- Promotes a sense of pride in the school
- Engenders a feeling of belonging and community
- Fosters a spirit of togetherness and unity is inspired
- Supports positive behaviour and discipline
- Is practical
- Identifies the students as part of the school
- Makes students feel equal in terms of appearance
- Represents good value for money with non-branded items being available from a number of high street outlets
The Role of Families
We ask all families who send their children to our school to support the school uniform policy. Any family facing hardship or with a child eligible for Free School Meals, and for whom compulsory items of uniform would represent an unmanageable cost, are also invited to approach either the students Form Tutor.
