School Uniform
We take PRIDE in how our children look and expect all the children to wear the full School Uniform and kit for PE.
This helps maintain a cohesive school community. Please check with the school before purchasing new items or changing hairstyles if you are in any doubt about the uniform policy, as the school’s decision is final.
The uniform is not available to purchase from the school office, Most of the items, including a jumper and a fleece jacket with the school logo, may be purchased through the school outfitters;

Uniform for all children
- White polo shirt for all children. This has been updated from Summer 2024 and therefore children in the Juniors may continue to wear white shirts or blouses, with optional ties for their remaining time at Westfield.
- Grey trousers or school shorts (no leggings), skirt, skorts (shorts that look like a skirt) or pinafore, that must be knee length or longer
- Burgundy logo or plain jumper/cardigan.
- Plain white, grey or black socks that are below the knee/tights.
- Sensible, black enclosed waterproof shoes (Velcro fasteners are ideal for younger children). These must be plain black and flat, but can be plain black trainers or sturdy black shoes. No open-toed shoes, knee high boots (ankle boots are permissible) or slip on shoes are allowed. All shoes must have a back to them.
Friday dress down/mufti well-being day.
As part of our Well-being approach, every Friday children will be permitted to wear mufti/non-uniform day (home clothes). These clothes must be clean and suitable for learning, including physical activity. On these days there is still no additional jewellery. A single stud earring in each ear and a watch only is permissible, which must be removed for any PE lessons. Clothes and footwear must be appropriate to being able to run around on the playground, and respectable i.e. no midriff showing, no ripped clothing/ no ripped jeans, no heels/ slip on shoes/ flip flops. The school reserves the right to make judgement on the appropriateness of mufti clothes.
If this is your child’s PE day, then they can wear a mufti PE kit and trainers.
Optional Summer Uniform
- Blue & white checked dresses may be worn, that must be knee length or longer
- Blue and white checked skorts jump suit may also be worn.
Hair Accessories
All hair bands/ clips/ bows must be in school colours only which are black, white, blue, burgundy, grey, or matching the school summer dresses. Long hair is to be tied back at all times for health and safety reasons, please provide your child with school colour hair ties. Children will be required to remove any hair items that do not conform to the uniform code.
If a hijab is worn to school, it must be plain black, white, blue, burgundy or grey. The hijab should be a fitted item not a loose headscarf for health and safety reasons.
Jewellery
No jewellery should be worn to school, except plain ear studs (a maximum of one in each ear) or watches (no smart watches). However, as these must be removed for P.E. and swimming in the interest of safety it is desirable that none are worn in school at all.
Earrings are particularly dangerous. For health and safety reasons, earrings must be removed by parents or the child on PE days prior to taking part in physical activity, as pupils cannot participate while wearing them due to the risk of injury. Staff will not cover ears with plasters, as this does not eliminate the risk of injury. Responsibility for earrings remains with the child if they are lost. We request that piercing takes place at the beginning of the summer holidays to allow for healing time and prevent loss of PE lessons.
Mobile Phones: Only pupils in Years 5 and 6 who walk to and from school independently are allowed to bring a mobile phone to school. The school strongly recommends basic call‑and‑text‑only phones (often called feature phones or non‑smart phones) rather than smartphones. The phone will be kept in the school office for the duration of the school day.
Ipods/smart phones/Smart Watches/Electronic Equipment : These items are not allowed in school. Those in possession of such equipment will be required to leave it in the School Office until the end of the day.
Please note that the school takes no responsibility for these items that children and parents choose to bring onto school property.

- Navy/ black shorts. Plimsolls. Trainers for games.
- Socks not tights. Drawstring bag for kit.
- Plain dark (black or blue) tracksuits (optional).

Children who are chosen to represent the school at sporting events (e.g. football match) are provided with a school kit where appropriate.
Book Bags/Small Bags
Pupils should bring their belongings to school in a book bag or small bag only. Book bags should be used to carry reading books, homework, and small pencil cases to and from school. If your child has a packed lunch, this may be brought in a handled lunch bag and carried separately, or placed inside a small sized bag. All bags must be small enough to fit inside a locker or hang safely on a peg with a coat. Please do not send children with large bags, as there is limited storage space available in school.
