Extreme hairstyles, shaving patterns and colouring are not part of our uniform policy. 

Uniform Exchange

Uniform Exchange was set up as a community project in 2011 to make sure every child in Kirklees could have a free school uniform if they needed it. That need has never been greater than it is now.

The cost-of-living crisis means many families are struggling just to eat and keep warm so new school uniform is simply unaffordable yet countless tonnes of it is still being thrown into landfill in Kirklees every year. We need to all make a positive impact on the environment so please do your bit by simply giving your old school uniform to us.

Please click on the Uniform Exchange logo below for more information, on how to donate and how to benefit from their amazing work. Uniform can be donated at the main school office!
