School Uniform 2022-23
Glodwick School Uniform is compulsory although our school sweatshirt is the only branded item of clothing.
We expect all of our children to wear the school colours each day. This supports our aim for our children to be identifiable as part of our special school community.
The school colours are PURPLE, GREY AND WHITE.
School Sweatshirts
School sweatshirts are £13 each.
We accept generic cardigans in purple and plain purple sweatshirts, but prefer everyone to wear the school sweatshirt wherever possible.
We offer second hand sweatshirts, free of charge, via the Head Teacher/School Office according to need. We also support families struggling to provide uniform on a case by case basis.
This is managed discreetly and at the discretion of the Head Teacher.
