All children at Co-op Academy Woodslee wear their school uniform with pride. It contributes to a sense of belonging and teamwork. Therefore when your child joins Co-op Academy Woodslee, we are all in a shared agreement that :

It is the responsibility of children, parents and carers to ensure that the correct Woodslee uniform is worn at all times;

It is the responsibility of Co-op Academy Woodslee staff to promote high expectations with the school uniform.

Our uniform is affordable, non gender specific and aligned with the Guidance about Costs of School Uniforms Bill (Act 2021) https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/2615.

Our Co op academy Woodslee logo is important, however we understand that this adds additional cost to a family when buying a uniform so we advise that one item of uniform with the logo is enough.

Names sewn onto the uniform are a great way of identifying a child’s cardigan or jumper in school. If you wish to do this, we advise that the child’s initials are sewn on, not their full name, for safety reasons.
