Uniform Raising the Standard
Improved Standards
Maintaining the Standard Much has been achieved in the last few years to improve the standard of uniform and we thank all parents for their support with this. We encourage you to continue to join us in a concerted effort to maintain the standard of uniform in Williamwood.
Dressing for Excellence Our policy on uniform is set out in the school handbook. Please click on the link below for the council and school policy on uniform: Dressing for Excellence

S5 Blazer S5 blazers have braiding on the pockets and sleeves. The additional S6 braiding is added at the end of the year. This allows pupils two years’ wear from their blazers and so provides better value for money. Prices vary according to size.
S1-S4 Blazer Polyester or Eco blazer Wool blazer Most parents choose the polyester blazer with embroidered badge. A woollen blazer is also available. Prices vary according to size.
