School uniforms

Where to find help with costs

Contact your school

Please contact your child’s school as they may be able to help.

Schools in Leeds are responsible for deciding what uniform pupils should wear. If you are a parent or carer and you have a question about school uniforms, you should contact your child's school to find out about their uniform policy.

Most schools also provide their uniform policy on their website and in the school prospectus.
