You will find detail of our school uniform below. Our pupils are proud of their school uniform and its value within our school community. Our pupil council have fed back to our Senior Leadership Team that our high uniform standard makes pupils feel more a part of the school, proud to show Longridge who they are, relieved at not having to be someone they are not and delighted that we have eliminated ‘peer pressure’ to be the latest version of what is currently popular, ‘who can afford what’ and who is deemed ‘popular enough to break rules’. We see this positivity transcend uniform and enhance wellbeing and equality every day within our school community.
Pre-Loved Uniform
We are living in challenging times and are aware that for some families, the cost of uniform can become a potential barrier to education. Thanks to the kind donations of our community, we have built up a small stock of pre-loved, almost new uniform for all the areas below, including PE kit and winter coats. We, of course, are most grateful for these donations to school. Should you feel that you may benefit here, you should contact Mr Nelson, Deputy Headteacher, and he will arrange for us to discretely offer support wherever we can.
From September 2025, we will have reviewed our current uniform policy ensuring there are optional choices for PE kit to avoid higher costs of branded items. We also use three suppliers for you to choose from to allow more flexibility on cost.
Loved Before Uniform Store
Thank you to all of our parents and carers who continue to donate uniform one these items have been grown out of, and particularly to our Y11s who have already donated many items ahead of them moving onto their new ventures. Please continue to support other families by sending any spare items our way, dropping them in reception or with a form teacher. We will take everything you no longer need, including PE kit and shoes. Thank you so much for your support.
