Alban Wood is proud of its identity and children are expected to wear the school uniform when attending school or participating in a school organised event outside normal school hours.
Articles of clothing have been chosen that are either readily available at local superstores/department stores or through the school uniform shop. Clothing does not need to be branded. Uniform order forms are available from Mapac.

Our policy for school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:

• Promotes a sense of pride in the school
• Engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school
• Is practical and smart
• Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
• Is regarded as suitable wear for school and is considered by parents as good value for money
• Is designed with health and safety in mind

The school uniform (required) is:

• Red sweatshirt, fleece or cardigan
• White/red polo shirt or white shirt
• Black trousers, short or skirts
• Black pinafore or red checked summer dress
• Black, sensible shoes (no heels and not slip on)

Sweatshirts, fleeces and cardigans with the school logo are available to purchase from MAPAC , along with: PE T shirt and shorts, book bags, caps and drawstring kit bags. Other uniform items are widely available in local supermarkets and shops.

The PE kit (required) is:

• A red T shirt
• Black shorts or jogging bottoms (for cold weather)
• Plimsolls or outdoor black trainers
• Long sleeve track suits for winter

Please make sure that all children’s clothing is named.

Iron-on name tapes can be bought in most supermarkets.

Second Hand Uniform

We have second hand uniform available at school. This is overseen by our PTA where a second hand uniform stall will have uniform available after school at different points thorough out the year. The school will ask for a donation from parents who take uniform, but this is discretionary.
