The West Bridgford School

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.
