We understand that some parents need to source a cheaper school uniform for their child. The British Red Cross charity shop on Middlewood Road, Hillsborough sell second hand items of school uniform at a more affordable price. Please ask to see the range of Forge Valley School uniform when visiting the store as they only have a few items on display; the rest is kept in stock.

As always, should buying school uniform be a financial hardship and prevent you from buying the necessary items for your child, please contact us.

Any pupil who does not conform to the school uniform policy, will be dealt with within the normal structure of disciplinary procedures and parents will be contacted. Pupils, where appropriate, will be sent home to change into school uniform.
