We do not provide financial help with school uniforms but your child's school or a uniform exchange may be able to help.
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.
Leeds school uniform exchange
Leeds school uniform exchange is a project launched by
Zero Waste Leeds, a recycling organisation.
The project aims to develop a school uniform reuse network across Leeds, offering great quality second hand uniforms. This helps to reduce waste and makes school uniform more affordable and accessible across the city.
