Middlefield does not have a ‘school uniform’ as we feel it is important that the young person learns to make appropriate clothing choices independently.

Many people with ASC experience significant sensory difficulties around clothing. They may also require support with awareness of temperature and appropriateness of clothing choice or show inflexibility in clothing choices. Wearing everyday clothes helps staff to pinpoint those difficulties and help the pupils with the development of this life skill.

Any young person, however, is free to wear a generic school uniform if they choose which is often the case especially when they start with us.
