School uniform

Last updated on 07 November 2022

Schools in England must ensure that school uniform costs are reasonable, and parents get the best value for money.

The non-statutory guidance on developing a school uniform policy and managing uniform suppliers to ensure the cost of school uniforms is reasonable is available on the DfE website:

DfE: School uniform guidance

Schools should make sure their uniform policy is published on their website and is clear and easy for parents to understand. There is currently no HCC model policy.
