It is an expectation that every pupil will wear our school uniform and cooperation from our parents/carers is appreciated. Our school uniform provides pupils with a sense of belonging, community and pride in our school.
It is also helpful in generating corporate responsibilities and is a relatively inexpensive and practical outfit. Sending your child to school in uniform sets a standard in appearance of which parents/carers, pupils and Woodeaton can be proud.

Personal belongings
All personal belongings should be clearly marked with the owner’s name. Any money should be handed into the school office upon arrival. Many of our pupils have a considerable journey into school in their taxis and as such valuable items such as computer games, mobile phones, e-readers, music players and tablets/laptops can be brought into school, with permission from parents/carers, on the condition that all valuables are handed in to staff on arrival. These items will then be given back to pupils at the end of the school day. Parents/carers and pupils should note that our school cannot accept liability for the loss or damage to personal property if it is not handed in.
Mobile phones:
All mobile phones should be handed to staff upon arrival and will be given back to pupils at the end of the school day.
