We place great emphasis on the appearance of our students, and uniform is an integral part of the custom and character of the school.

Wearing school uniform helps all students, no matter their background, to feel a part of the Waddesdon community, ensuring equality and equity for all. Our uniform is both smart and practical, preparing students for working life beyond the school gates and instilling a sense of pride. By taking responsibility for upholding the school’s uniform expectations, including sportswear, all students develop necessary habits and feel aligned to the values of the school.
Our Parent Handbook, available on the school website, sets out the expectations and guidance from our uniform policy.
Years 7-11
All branded and non-branded items of school uniform and sportswear can be order online from our school supplier, Stevensons. Non-branded items can also be purchased at other outlets, but please check the policy carefully to ensure that they comply. We do not want any parents/carers to be financially disadvantaged by purchasing items which are not part of our agreed school policy.
Parents/carers of students who are eligible for pupil premium funding can receive financial support to help with the cost of school uniform. Should you require this, please contact office@waddesdonschool.com, FAO Mrs Anna Ewart.
We value the support of parents/carers in ensuring that their son/daughter attends school wearing the correct uniform, including wearing it both to and from school. We also ask that they do not adapt or adjust it in any way, for example, by modifying the school skirt by shortening the hemline.
Please note that we allow students to wear clothes specified by religious observance and, as a school, we support the Halo Code. This means that we champion the right of staff and students to embrace all Afro-hairstyles.

Sixth Form Business Dress
As they transition to adult life and the world of work, Sixth Form students wear ‘Business Dress’. This allows students a greater sense of individuality, while still conforming to school standards and maintaining a high standard of personal presentation by observing the Sixth Form Dress Code.
Full details of the Sixth Form Dress Code in the parent handbook and the Sixth Form contract.

As a member of the Waddesdon Sixth Form, students are expected to maintain a high standard of personal presentation by observing the Sixth Form Dress Code. For young men, this means wearing a suit with a shirt and tie. For young woman, this means wearing a suit jacket, with a smart dress, trousers or skirt. Skirts and dresses must be an appropriate length and style for school as deemed by the Head of Sixth Form. Young men may grow facial hair as long as it is kept neatly trimmed. Students who have a nose piercing may wear a small, plain silver or gold stud. Hair must be a natural colour.
All clothing/equipment should be clearly marked with the student’s name.
Health and Safety requirements dictate that no sleeper-type earrings/studs (often used after initial piercing) are permitted to be worn in PE lessons.
