School Uniform
We have two approved uniform suppliers, My Clothing and Touchline, giving you greater options and value. I’m pleased to share with you that Tesco's school embroidery supplier has set up an alternative service called My Clothing. They offer great value as well as support our school through its donation scheme.
Touchline On-line shop available - Click HERE. With Touchline you can order direct and deliver to school for FREE - delivery usually takes approximately 1 - 2 weeks. School does hold a small stock of Touchline cardigans and sweatshirts, book bags and ties that you can purchase direct from school.
Pre-loved uniform: We keep a stock of pre-loved uniform which we are happy to give to parents if we have the right size, please pop in to see us or contact the office if you are interested. If you have any donations of good qulity pre-loved uniform please get in touch.
At North Walkden Primary School we believe in creating an environment of high expectations. This starts with and is embodied by our school uniform. The uniform creates a sense of unity and pride in our school and supports the standards we strive for.
