At Yardleys School we pride ourselves on high standards and are always mindful that we are representing our local community at all times. As such, we would like to remind students and parents/guardians of our expectations regarding school uniform. In order to help you ensure that you are purchasing the correct uniform for your son/daughter, we have also produced a detailed illustration of what is and what is not acceptable uniform at Yardleys School.
1. Black school blazer with Yardleys School badge. Blazer sleeves should not be rolled up or folded over.

The three main uniform suppliers for the Yardleys’ uniform are; Clive Mark; Mansuri Schoolwear and Midland Schoolwear.
We have found that items of appropriate school uniform can be purchased at a reasonable price from major supermarkets such as Asda and Tesco. However, should you have any queries regarding the acceptability of an item of uniform please contact your child’s Head of Year before making a purchase. It is vitally important to us that our students arrive at school looking smart and ready to learn. With this in mind, we would like to thank parents/guardians for their support in ensuring that the highest standards are kept at Yardleys School.
