Our uniform when worn correctly, unifies us, gives us a common identity and sets us apart from others. We have deliberately kept our uniform simple, affordable and accessible for all; therefore, I am keen to ensure that it is worn correctly and with pride. As a school with a uniform, there is a clear expectation that all students should strictly adhere to the school uniform policy. This page is intended to offer you some practical advice and guidance on the most common issues and causes for concern regarding school uniform at Moat Community College. Hopefully, it will answer your questions and make the school’s position clear. As always, thank you for your support in this matter.

This initiative is part of our commitment to supporting our school community and promoting sustainability. There are several reasons why we offer pre-loved uniform: **• Affordability:** We understand that the cost of school uniform can be a challenge for some families. Pre-loved items provide a more affordable option without compromising on quality or standards. **• Sustainability:** Reusing uniform helps reduce waste and supports our efforts to be environmentally responsible. It’s a simple but powerful way to teach our children about caring for the planet. **• Community Spirit:** This initiative encourages a culture of sharing and support within our school. Families who donate outgrown uniform help others, and together we create a more inclusive and caring environment. All items are carefully checked to ensure they are clean and in good condition. If you would like to browse available items or donate uniform your child has outgrown, please contact the school office. Pre-loved uniform information will be sent to parents via our WEDUC school app. In July every year our partner charity Lifting Children’s Hopes runs a pop up shop in Highcross offering pre-loved uniform. Parents will be notified in advance of this event. Thank you for being part of a community that looks out for one another. ### Parents and Students - [Admissions](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/admissions) - [Behaviour](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/behaviour) - [College Day](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/college-day) - [Exams](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/about-us/exam-results) - [Halal Food](https://files.schudio.com/moat-community-college-compliance/files/documents/Halal_Statement_24-25(2).pdf) - [Letters Home](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/letters-home) - [Parents Evening](https://moatcommunitycollege.schoolcloud.co.uk/) - [Safeguarding](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/safeguarding) - [Term Dates](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/termdates) - [Uniform](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/student-uniform) - [Weduc](https://app.weduc.co.uk) - [Wellbeing](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/wellbeing) - [Year 6 Transition](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/year-6-transition) ![Moat Community College](https://files.schudio.com/moat-community-college-compliance/images/logo/Untitled_design_(5).png) #### Moat Community College Maidstone Road Leicester Leicestershire LE2 0TU 0116 2625705 #### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/contactus) - [Vacancies](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/about-us/staff-vacancies) - [Policies](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/about-us/policies-and-procedures) - [HMC Approved School](https://halalhmc.org/schools/?distance=5&lat=52.6333595&lang=-1.1195996&q=Leicester+LE2+0TU%2C+UK) - [Letters Home](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/parents-and-students/letters-home) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://facebook.com/moatcollege) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/115994783/) - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/moatcollege) © Copyright 2020–2026 Moat Community College School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://moat.leicester.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
