Uniform and Equipment

At Little Lever School, we have a strict uniform policy. This is to ensure students are preparing themselves for the world of work and life beyond their five years at Little Lever. In many jobs, students will have to wear a uniform or specialist equipment.  We want to teach our students the value of this. We also want to ensure every student feels part of the Little Lever team. When students wear our blazer, they take on the responsibility to leave the blazer in a better place. This means they represent our community when they wear our blazer, and they must represent our community in the right way.
