School uniform
Our school uniform is designed to be both comfortable and smart and is consistent across all Primary Academies within the Trust.
MENU
A smart school uniform promotes pride in not only appearance but also in the school.
At Wallbrook Primary Academy we believe that a school uniform is crucial in promoting a cohesive learning environment and encouraging pride in our school community.
We expect all our children to wear our school uniform, as outlined, with care and pride. We are clear in our expectations of how children dress. We ask for your full support in this and that you make sure that children are dressed appropriately and ready for school every day. This means that children will be prepared and ready to learn.

Uniform suppliers
You can buy branded items of uniform from CC Uniforms in West Bromwich. Other items may be purchased from retailers of your choice, provided they meet the requirements on this list.
Jewellery
For health and safety reasons jewellery is to be kept to a minimum. Children can wear one small pair of stud earrings, a watch or any religious adornment.
Children who come to school wearing jewellery will be asked to remove it and it will be kept in the safe until they go home.
The Local Authority insist that jewellery cannot be worn for P.E. and therefore children who wear a watch or ear rings will have to remove them themselves for P.E.
Second-hand uniform
Families are encouraged to donate any uniform they have at the point where their child is leaving Wallbrook Primary Academy.
We promote that uniform items that are too small can be donated at any time during the year.
Items collected are stored and offered to families upon request.
The Academy has supported many families this year with uniform items. Messages are routinely sent out via our parent/carer communication platform and families are encouraged to make direct contact with our school office if they require uniform support.
