School uniform

At Willerby Carr Lane Primary School, our uniform helps every child feel part of our school family and supports a calm, positive environment where learning can thrive. We want all children to feel comfortable, confident and ready to enjoy their day.

We follow the latest Department for Education guidance, making sure our uniform is practical and affordable for families. Branded items are kept to a minimum, and PE kit requirements are simple, so most items can be bought easily from a wide range of shops.

We also encourage families to make use of pre‑loved uniform, helping to keep costs down and support a more sustainable approach. We’re always willing to make reasonable adjustments where needed so that every child feels included, comfortable and able to learn successfully.

To help maximise learning time, children come to school wearing their PE kit on their PE days.


Full details of our uniform can be found in our uniform policy, and the school office is always happy to help with any questions.
