School Uniform Information
At Bishop Wood C of E Junior School, we believe that a smart uniform plays a crucial role in promoting a positive and disciplined learning environment. It helps students develop a sense of belonging to our school community and prepares them for a professional future. We kindly ask all parents to ensure their children adhere to the school's uniform policy. This not only reflects the school's ethos but also supports a conducive educational atmosphere.
We understand that maintaining a school uniform can be a concern for some families. To support our parents, the Bishop Wood Buddies operates a second-hand uniform shop, which offers pre-loved items at a reduced price. Additionally, should you encounter any difficulties concerning the uniform, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. We are here to assist you and ensure that every child can attend school comfortably and appropriately dressed.
Uniform bearing the school logo is available from Mapc and MyClothing.
School Uniform
Items bearing the school logo can be ordered at any time from our approved suppliers. However, to keep costs down, plain uniform in the correct colours is also acceptable. Please ensure all items are clearly named so that lost property can be returned promptly.
| Shirts/Polo Shirts | Pale blue (plain or with school logo) |
| Summer | Blue or yellow gingham or striped dress |
| Trousers/Skirts | Grey - appropriate for school wear |
| Sweatshirts/Pullovers/Cardigans | Navy blue (plain or with school logo) |
| Socks/Tights | Grey, Black or White |
