Our uniform is designed to build a sense of identity and community among our pupils and with Abbey School
In recognition of the active nature of our school day, we have designed our uniform to be comfortable and able to move freely in without needing a change during the school day to access physical activities.
It is also designed with cost and affordability in mind.

Our school uniform supplier is Uniformity Schoolwear.
Please see this weblink for further details: https://www.uniformityschools.com/collections/abbey-school-for-exceptional-children
Orders should be placed via their online shop and items can be collected from their shop in Chester, delivered to your home address, or delivered to the school.
We ask that your child has a coat with them at all times during the Autumn and Spring term when the weather is so changeable, and a lightweight shower proof jacket during hot weather. This is so that they can continue enjoying our outside spaces during changing weather and that community access is not restricted.
Uniformity will be offering optional branded school coats and beanies.
Please also ensure that your child brings:
• A water bottle to school with them each day. As a school working to achieve healthy schools’ status, we encourage the drinking of water only during the school day other than at snack or lunchtimes. If your child has any difficulties with this, then please speak to your child’s teacher and we will work with you to find a solution.
• A change of clothing, especially if your child has continence difficulties. We will always endeavour to wash any soiled clothes resulting from continence accidents at school before sending them home.
• If your child uses continence supplies such as nappies or pads, then these should be provided from home on a weekly basis on a Monday morning. Wipes will always be available at school and therefore, only nappies or pads should be sent in from home
