Affordable school uniforms

With some adjustments to policies and practices, schools can relieve the pressure of uniform costs on children and their families. This guidance was written to support schools to implement the 2021 school uniform guidance from the Department for Education. This guide could also support the implementation of the 2024 Scottish Government School uniform and clothing: Guidance for schools and education authorities.

It covers what to think about when creating or changing your school uniform policy, how to set up and promote a pre-loved uniform provision and case studies from schools which have tackled school uniform costs in their own policy and provision.
