Help with school uniforms

Support for school uniforms is different depending on where you live and which school your child goes to.

If you need help, speak to your child’s school. They can tell you:

  • What support is available

  • How to apply

  • If your local council offers help.

Some schools also have second-hand uniform shops or swap schemes.
