Uniform – The Link

At The Link we believe that in having a school uniform, we give our young people a sense of identity, belonging and participation. 

From September 2026, state funded schools in England need to limit compulsory branded uniform and PE items to a maximum of three (four if a tie is required). This new rule, introduced under the Children’s Well-being and Schools Act aims to reduce uniform costs for parents and carers.

We understand that some pupils will have sensory needs and therefore we have options for pupils to choose from.  

• School jumper or cardigan 
• School polo shirt or t-shirt  
• School PE top 

This puts families in a position that if other cost-effective uniform items (trousers, shoes, tops, dresses) can be found elsewhere, then they can be bought in order to support the school’s uniform policy. Below is a copy of The Link uniform standards, to help support and provide guidance.
