Uniform Voucher Policy – School Uniforms

Beckfoot Trust now provides financial assistance for funding uniform. Parents/carers should get in touch to check eligibility. To enable us to distribute vouchers, claimants will need to provide proof of identity and be registered as eligible according to the school policy. If either of these criteria are not met, the claim will have to be reviewed.

Second hand resale

We want all our young people to look smart and take pride in their appearance and school. However, we do understand that many families are feeling the effects of the cost of living crisis and that uniform in particular can be expensive. If any of our families are struggling to provide their child’s uniform, please contact the school so we can support you. If you have any uniform you could donate, please wash it and send into school. Email Mrs beavers for more information on [email protected].
