Uniform
Our school has full uniform to the end of Year 11. At BWH we believe that a smart and distinctive uniform worn neatly and tidily helps to instil pride and a sense of loyalty to the school, as well as being both practical and economical. Only the school blazer, tie and PE kit (shorts and t-shirt) must be purchased via our uniform shop, all other items of uniform may be obtained at most high street stores. The full range of uniform may be obtained from Crested Schoolwear (Stafford), and School's In Schoolwear (Stone).
All uniform, bags and PE kit must be clearly identified with your child’s name.

Make-up, false eye-lashes, nail varnish, and false nails are inappropriate and not permitted – any student wearing these items will be instructed to remove them.
All items of uniform should be recognised as UNIFORM items and not FASHION ITEMS. For example, designer shirts, skinny trousers and the like are not acceptable. Girls’ skirts must be no shorter than about 1 inch above the knee.
Parents are asked to ensure that their children wear suitable black shoes for school. (It is important that the soles of these shoes are such as will not damage wooden floors). Trainers are not suitable for ordinary school wear. Platform shoes and shoes with a high heel are not allowed because they are inconsistent with our uniform requirements and are dangerous from a health and safety point of view.
The school reserves the right to make the final judgement on all issues relating to uniform.
