We ask all the children to wear the correct school uniform every day. This means they are smart and appropriately dressed for learning. All uniform must be clearly named.

Please follow this link to order our badged school uniform and bags. There is also a wide range of preloved school uniform available from the school office, please pop in or email admin@layston.herts.sch.uk for further details.

It is not essential for pupils to have uniform with the school logo. Items can be purchased without the logo from various supermarkets for a reasonable price. Parents do not need to buy 5 of everything either as 1 day a week pupils wear Forest School uniform and 2 days a week they wear PE kit.
