School uniform

Headteachers, in consultation with school governors, decide whether there should be a school uniform or not. Details of uniform, where appropriate, are given in each school’s website which can be obtained from the school.

The Council does not help parents with the cost of school uniform or physical education. But there are a number of uniform exchange groups across the borough that can help, many of these are promoted on Facebook, including:

• Cheshire Used School Uniforms
• Crewe and Nantwich School uniforms
• Middlewich school uniform, buy, swap and sell
• Sandbach schools uniform – swap, buy and sell
