Uniform

Our uniform identifies Whickham pupils as proud members of the school and community.  Pupils should wear the uniform with pride and respect for all that it represents.

 

Uniform Supplier 2024-25

School uniform orders can also be placed on-line at  www.michaelsehgal.co.uk and their advice is to order early, as supply shortages mean that replenishment may take longer.  Only orders that are placed by 31st July can be guaranteed to be fulfilled in time for the new term.  There are free deliveries on online orders above £40, placed before 31st July, and these can be delivered directly to your home address.

 

PE Kit

  • Full PE kits should be worn at all times
  • If a pupil does not have their kit they will be given some to wear
  • Long hair must be tied up
  • If a pupil is injured they must bring a note in their planner to excuse them from the practical element of the lesson. They will still be expected to change for the lesson and get involved in another capacity such as a coach / official.

    Winter Footwear

    Our uniform is suitable for virtually all inclement winter conditions, however on rare occasions when the weather is particularly poor, for example if we have several centimetres of snow, pupils can travel into school wearing footwear appropriate to snow and then change into their uniform school shoes.

    The Gateshead West Uniform Scheme

    The Gateshead West Uniform Scheme charity has been providing school uniform at local pay-as-you-feel markets since 2021. We aim to end uniform poverty in our area and stop wearable items of school uniform going to landfill.
    Pre-loved items of Whickham School branded uniform are held at the Blaydon site – St Cuthbert’s Church Hall, NE21 5PT, alongside many items of generic uniform, including trousers, shirts and school shoes. We stock primary school uniform items there too.
    Markets are held at the Blaydon site twice a month. Please come along if you’d like to save money, save the planet, or both!
    For upcoming dates, please see the GWUS website…
     or the Facebook page…
    Or make contact via email…
    The GWUS charity is always desperate for good-quality donations, especially donations of branded school uniform items. You can donate items to us via the school office, or at Whickham Library, or at the 24/7 donation bin behind the Blaydon site NE21 5PT, or come along to a market to donate in person.
