Handforth Grange Primary School’s uniform has been selected to ensure all pupils feel part of the school community. Items of clothing have been chosen carefully to ensure they are not unduly expensive but smart. Personal presentation is important not only for pupils future life in the world of work, but also for the sense of pride and community belonging that a universal uniform gives them. A consistent culture of high expectations around uniform and appearance ensures that we are welcoming and inclusive.

All branded uniform items can be purchased from Uniform 4 You.  Essential branded items are a school jumper/cardigan and PE kit. All other items can be purchased from any retailer. The Friends of Handforth Grange (FOHG) also hold regular second-hand uniform sales throughout the year.
