When students arrive at school in the correct uniform they are a real credit to us all and this also helps the students to take pride in themselves and their Academy.

Alongside this, when students are in the correct uniform each day they are ready and prepared for work in the classroom.

In exceptional cases Westfield does however hold a small hardship fund to support parents and carers if needed. All enquiries are to be made in writing to the Admissions & Events Assistant at admissions@westfield.academy. We will support pupils with medical conditions that require non-school sanctioned items of clothing. However, all cases to be considered will need to be supported by medical documentation. Pupils will not be permitted to wear non-school footwear for blisters or minor ailments under any circumstances.

Trustees, parents and staff are committed to maintaining high standards therefore students are required to wear the correct uniform each day. Listed below are the do’s and don’ts of our Academy’s uniform requirements. Please be aware that uniforms can only be purchased directly from our supplier, please see below for further details.
