Uniform

We are proud of our school uniform at Little Heath School, as it represents the sense of community and belonging that is so important to our school ethos. We want students to be proud to wear the Little Heath School badge, and to recognise the importance of having a smart appearance both in school and within the wider community.

All students are expected to wear:

  • LHS white logo polo shirt – red logo for lower school (Years 7 and 8) and silver logo for upper school
    (Years 9, 10 and 11).
  • LHS logo v-neck jumper – red logo for lower school and silver logo for upper school. Hooded tops and cardigans are not allowed.
  • Smart black tailored school trousers as identified below. No other styles are acceptable.
  • Girls may wear a smart, plain black school skirt as identified below. No other styles are acceptable.
  • A plain, dark waterproof school coat for outdoor wear only.
  • Black shoes that are suitable for school - plain, polishable, with a low heel, without obvious logos or coloured lace ends. Canvas shoes, sandals and boots are not permitted.

Shorts were trialled during summer 2024. The website will be updated once a review of this trial has been completed. 

We always have a large amount of lost property, therefore please ensure all uniform is clearly labelled.

We have tried to keep our school uniform as accessible as possible. We continue to work closely with local suppliers in order to provide parents with a range of options for purchasing uniform, including online shopping. All uniform items can also be obtained second hand. Click here for more information.
