Approved uniform supplierWanstead High
School uniform.
The burgundy Wanstead blazer, year-group ties, jumper, fleece and PE kit, with everything else on the uniform list. Order online for UK delivery, or try it on at Fashion Stop Schoolwear in East Ham.
Which year
are they in?
Each year group has its own tie, so the tie changes as they move up the school. Years 7 to 9 wear a navy tie with stripes in the year colour, and Years 10 and 11 a burgundy tie with a single stripe. All carry the heron badge, and the stripe must show at all times.
Year 7: Silver
Navy tie with silver stripes and the heron badge.
They will need a new tie each September. If you are buying over the summer holidays, choose the colour for the year they are going into.
