WESTWOOD ACADEMY PE KIT
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:

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 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).
Footwear: Students must wear appropriate trainers suitable for physical activity. Boys must also own a pair of football boots for certain PE lessons that take place on grass or involve football and rugby specific activities.
Baselayers: Students may wear a long-sleeve baselayer underneath their PE top in cold weather. This must be plain black or white only.

From September 2025, short lycra shorts (including styles such as Nike Pro shorts) are not permitted under any circumstances.
