Primary education information for parents - School clothes

Published: 2 September 2024

Children are expected to dress neatly for school. Primary-age children do not need to wear a school uniform, but many schools ask children to wear a type or colour of clothing that is associated with the school. However, as the Local Authority does not ask for this, the Council does not provide a grant towards buying school clothing.

Some schools will offer free or low cost uniform items. Wirral Free Uniforms for Schools (FUSS) distributes free good quality recycled uniforms.
