Keeping Uniform Affordable

We understand that the cost of school uniform can be a concern for families. Wherever possible, we encourage families to purchase generic items from the retailer that best suits their needs and budget.

Only the items that need to be Longwill-branded require the school logo. This helps families avoid unnecessary costs while ensuring pupils still have the correct school uniform.

Inclusive Uniform

We recognise that every child is different. The school will consider reasonable adjustments to uniform requirements where appropriate, including adjustments relating to disability, sensory needs, mobility, medical needs, religion or belief, financial hardship and other individual circumstances.

If your child needs an alternative item or adjustment to help them feel comfortable and confident at school, please speak to the school office.

Second-Hand Uniform & Financial Support Second-hand uniform may be available through the school. Families who would like to request second-hand items, financial support or a reasonable adjustment should contact the school office for further information.
