Uniform

Smart school uniform is encouraged and our pupils feel proud and pleased to wear it both in school and on visits.  Most items of uniform can be purchased at local shops including Crested in Sutton Coldfield. In order to make obtaining our uniform as easy as possible we also have an on-line supplier; Mapac. https://www.mapac.com/education/parents/pages/find-my-school

In an attempt to make our school uniform as affordable as possible we have reduced the number of items with a school logo; school jumpers and P.E. hoodies. If you are experiencing any difficulty in sourcing appropriate school uniform, please contact the school office (0121 3085392).

Crested and Mapac sell many of the uniform items required and stock all of the items sold with the unique Hill West logo, like the jumper you can see pictured above. You can order uniform from our on-line supplier at any time and have this delivered to school or to home. However, plain green polo shirts and grey jumpers, cardigans and hoodies (for P.E.) are also acceptable.

PRE LOVED UNIFORM

As a school we are working hard to reduce, reuse and re-cycle and extend this to our school uniform. If you have unwanted items of uniform that your child has grown out of we would ask that you bring this into school to donate to other families. This uniform will be available to others at the end of each term, without charge, in order to reduce our carbon footprint.
