Proposed Uniform September 2025
We are very pleased with the recent investment into our Ashton Building and site over recent years. We continually strive for excellence and high ambition for our pupils and when we reflect on this desire for all of our pupils, we are keen to invest in the design and implementation of a new uniform for the school therefore in September, we will be implementing a new uniform at Central Lancaster High School.
We have worked with The Uniform and Leisurewear Company to ensure that the proposed uniform is high quality, durable and affordable for our families. We have followed the DfE guidance for schools on school uniform and we have worked to keep any branded items to a minimum. Our items will be available from two providers; The Uniform and Leisurewear stores online and in their shop (Common Garden Street, Lancaster) as well as via Trutex online.
We are working with our pupils to create a new logo that represents the school and our values, the red & blue logo below is not our proposed logo.

Cost to Families
CLHS and The Bay Learning Trust will be supporting all families with the cost of the new uniform for September 2025. A tie and blazer will be purchased for all pupils across all year groups. There is no requirement for families to replace the PE kit until pupils require a new kit.
We will also be collecting pre-worn CLHS uniform to collect and weigh in for charity as well as working alongside The Uniform Project to support their stock of our new uniform.
Parents and pupils can look at samples of the proposed uniform that are available to view in our main reception.
There will also be opportunities to purchase the new uniform at two in school events in the summer term.
We are very grateful to our Uniform and Leisurewear partners for supporting us with sourcing our new uniform. Prices for all our uniform items are in line with the pricing of the same items for other local secondary schools.
Family Consultation Period
We are keen to hear from our families regarding the proposed uniform. The form below can be completed anonymously and is open for our consultation period of 3 March to 14 March 4pm. We welcome your feedback via this link: https://forms.office.com/e/5bYeJPgkSm
It is important that pupils continue to wear their current uniform correctly for the rest of this academic year.
We thank you for your ongoing support,

If pupils persistently disregard the uniform rules they will work in the IMPACT Centre or will be sent home until the uniform or presentation issue is rectified.

Sport & Physical activity is fun, it promotes a healthy lifestyle and positive mental wellbeing which is why students have two weekly sessions of PE.
Students need the following items for all PE lessons.

We encourage students to get as involved as possible during their time at CLHS. PE lessons appear weekly on pupil timetables therefore it is essential that pupils have clean, named kit for their safe participation.
