Wales High School Uniform
Wales High School is tremendously proud of its tradition of having the highest standards of presentation for all students and their uniforms. Our policy is based on the notion that a school uniform:
- Helps to promote positive attitudes and high standards
- Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
- Gives pupils an identity and promotes sense of pride in the school
- Encourages every child to take pride in their appearance
- Practical and smart
- Makes WHS students easily identifiable
You can find information and diagrams below showing examples of acceptable school uniform. If you should require any more information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Our uniform is not seasonal and should be worn all year. Please note that some adaptations will be made at the discretion of the Headteacher in particularly warm weather.

School Shoes
For some time, many well-known and reputable shoe shops have sold soft leather, trainer style footwear that they will advertise as ‘school shoes’ These same examples of footwear are also sold in sports shops and are advertised as suitable for wearing when taking part in sport.
As a result of such branding and advertising it is understandable how some families have assumed that such shoes are suitable for Wales High school uniform. Please take a look below at some examples of suitable and not suitable School shoes.
School Trousers
Plain black school trousers should be in a traditional style and not tight fitting. The bottom of the trouser should sit on the shoes and not cling to the leg. Lycra, stretchy material, or skinny style trousers are not acceptable.
Wales High School expects all students to wear the correct uniform at all times.
The school reserves the right to challenge inappropriate uniform items that undermine the school’s high standards and the learning environment.
Correct uniform must be worn at ALL TIMES
- Coats are only allowed outside the school building and must be worn over blazers. Coats worn inside the school building will be confiscated
- Hoodies and jumpers are not permitted in school and will be confiscated
- Jewellery and facial piercings are not allowed in school – only plain studs are permitted
- Mobile phones will be confiscated if ‘seen or heard’ during the school day
- All students should have a bag
