School Uniform
We consider that uniform is important for several reasons:
- It provides students with a sense of identity, pride in our school and minimises differences
- It helps to instil in students a sense of purpose when they put on their uniform in the mornings
- It overcomes the problem for both parents and teachers of what is or is not suitable for school
At the same time, we are anxious that the uniform should not cost you any more than the clothing you would normally buy for your children so we have worked with our suppliers to ensure that our uniform is cost effective, easy care, hard wearing and appropriate for the demands of the school day. We understand that purchasing a new uniform can be costly for parents and carers, and if you have concerns about meeting this cost please contact us at admin@jmhs.hereford.sch.uk and we will try and help.
We have a supply of good quality second-hand uniform, including a limited supply of PE Uniform, please contact our Student Support Assistants for more details:
Year 7 – Mrs Mitchell at helen.mitchell@jmhs.hereford.sch.uk
Year 8 & 9 – Mrs McCarthy at sally.mccarthy@jmhs.hereford.sch.uk
Year 10 & 11 – Mrs Chadney at val.chadney@jmhs.hereford.sch.uk
JMHS will allow for certain adaptations to the uniform policy for students on the basis of protected characteristics. Please contact Mrs Limbrick, Deputy Headteacher, or your child’s Year Leader who can answer queries and respond to requests for adaptations.
Students who do not comply with uniform requirements will be isolated.

From September 2026, schools will only be allowed to have three items of uniform that have their badge or logo on. For us, this will be our school polo shirt and sweatshirt, and our PE t-shirt. There will be no other requirements for any uniform with a logo, including skirts or other PE kit. Please find below a link to the updated uniform and equipment list. We have moved to this new uniform list from 1 April 2026 so that parents and carers do not buy uniform that would not be required in a few months.
