At Harston and Newton Primary School, we expect all children to wear our school uniform. It is smart, practical, and helps to build a strong sense of community.
We are committed to keeping uniform affordable:
- Most items can be purchased from any supplier.
- Good‑quality second‑hand uniform is available to buy through the school office (50p–£1 per item).
- Items with the school logo can be ordered online via Your School Uniform or through the link on our school website.
Please order in good time for the start of term. As a guide:
- Orders placed by late June/early July: approx. 3–4 weeks delivery
- Orders placed late July/early August: approx. 4–5 weeks delivery
