Waterloo Primary Academy

Uniform

Waterloo Primary Academy has a school uniform that is worn by all pupils, and we appreciate parents’ support in ensuring children come to school in full uniform wherever possible.

Our uniform has been designed to be modern, practical, and affordable. Many items can be mixed and matched, and several pieces are available from a range of local supermarkets as well as our two uniform suppliers in Blackpool, helping families to choose options that best suit their needs and budgets.

We are also pleased to offer a selection of pre-loved uniform items, available free of charge from The Haven, our pastoral support centre. Any conversations regarding uniform support are treated with care, respect and complete confidentiality by our staff. If you require any assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch, we are always happy to help.

All NEW Nursery and Reception starters will receive a free school uniform (excluding PE kit).
