To maintain high standards and ensure all pupils are appropriately dressed for physical activity, we are updating and clarifying our PE uniform expectations. These expectations will be in effect from the start of the next academic year. Please ensure your child arrives at school with the correct PE kit on their scheduled PE days.

PE Kit Requirements:

Top: Students must wear the official Westwood PE top.

Outerwear: Only the Westwood quarter zip is permitted as an outer layer during PE. No other jumpers, hoodies, or non-uniform items are allowed.

Bottoms: Pupils may wear one of the following:

  • Westwood skort
  • Westwood shorts
  • Westwood joggers
  • Plain black joggers
  • Plain black shorts
  • Plain black leggings

Please note: black joggers, leggings, or shorts must be completely plain, although a small logo is acceptable. No patterns or large branding are permitted, (image of acceptable shorts below).
