School Uniform

Higher Bebington Junior School
School Uniform

At Higher Bebington Junior School, we want all children to feel proud and comfortable in their school uniform. Our uniform policy is designed to be fair, affordable and inclusive for everyone. We encourage parents to provide clean, well-fitting clothes that help children feel part of our school community.

We offer most uniform items without logos so you can buy them easily from supermarkets or high street shops. Logo items like ties and jumpers are available from several suppliers at competitive prices. If you ever need help with costs, please contact the school office.

We respect all religious and cultural clothing needs and will consider requests individually.

Please make sure your child wears the correct uniform every day- including appropriate shoes and PE kit on PE days. Jewellery should be simple and removed for PE. Hair should be neat and free from extreme styles.

If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to the headteacher or staff. We review this policy regularly to keep it fair and up to date.
