Uniform
At Whipton Barton Federation, we believe that a school uniform plays a significant role in fostering a sense of pride and unity within our community. It sets a high standard, supports the ethos of the school, and creates a focused and positive environment for both learning and teaching. Our uniform choices are designed to be practical, comfortable, and affordable, ensuring pupils are well-prepared for the day ahead in a safe and healthy setting.

Our Second-Hand Uniform Shop
We’re lucky to have a second-hand uniform shop here at school, which helps families find good-quality clothes at low cost, while also cutting down on waste.
The shop is stocked with donated items such as jumpers, polo shirts, skirts, trousers, and PE kit. Everything is gently used, clean, and ready for another round of school adventures.
Buying from the shop is a simple way to save money and support our school at the same time. All proceeds go straight back into school projects and resources for the children.
Opening Times
The shop is open at the beginning of the school day. Please check with the school office for the most upto date times.
