Academy uniform

Walton has extremely high standards and we expect our students to look smart and presentable at all times. All students must comply with our uniform requirements throughout the academy day. Penalties or disciplinary measures will be taken for those who systematically or repeatedly fail to comply with the Walton uniform policy.

Please see the link to our uniform policy below.

Pre-loved uniform

We have a pre-loved uniform shop at Walton Academy that has a selection of nearly new uniform including PE kit and other items. We rely on the generosity of our community to support the pre-loved uniform shop and we are always very grateful to accept donations of used uniform in good condition to enable us to continue to offer this service. All profits are spent for the benefit of the students, and we aim to keep our prices as low as possible, starting from just £1 for a school shirt. Our current price list is attached.

As we rely on donations, we do not always have all sizes and items available, but if you would like to find out more or enquire about specific items of uniform please email jgreen@walton-ac.org.uk and list the items and sizes you would like.
