Our Uniform
We strongly encourage children to wear school uniform every day. Our school colours are green, grey and white.
Branded sweatshirts and cardigans are available from our official uniform suppliers. Most other uniform items, including shirts, trousers, skirts and PE kit, can be purchased from supermarkets or other retailers provided they meet the school's uniform requirements.
Our Uniform Shop
We have an on-site uniform shop where good quality pre-loved items have been donated to the school. This is available to all pupils regardless of need. The uniform shop is open every school day and a small donation can be paid to the school office for these items. There is no barrier to wearing the Walsgrave CofE Academy uniform and Disadvantaged pupils and their families are supported financially as required. Any family requiring support should seek this through the Pastoral Team in the first instance.
