Pre-Loved Uniform
If you need any uniform support, please see a member of SLT; our Early Help offer ensures that everyone who needs uniform items, will have them! Every half term, we hold a Uniform 'No' sale-second hand uniform can be obtained here, we do not ask parents to purchase these items but are always willing to accept donations of pre-loved uniform to enable us to maintain our uniform pop up shops!
At Woodlands, we will always strive to support any family who needs support to provide the full school uniform to their child/ren. We maintain a stock of high-quality second hand uniform and take part in the annual Winter Coats and Shoes scheme, to support families.
