At Harlington Upper School we have high expectations of our students in terms of their behaviour and work ethic. As such we expect all students to attend school wearing the correct uniform.

I would like to draw your attention to the following:

• Trousers should be tailored, formal trousers, made from a rigid fabric, with the school logo. They must not be skinny fit, stretchy, jeans or leggings. Uniform trousers should be purchased from Prestige (see below).
• Skirts should be knee-length (to the knee cap), pleated skirts, with the logo. Uniform skirts should be purchased from Prestige (see below)
• Shoes need to be plain black leather/leather type formal shoes (i.e. can be polished). They cannot be trainer style (e.g. Vans, Converse etc) even if leather. No canvas. Kickers or Doc Martin shoes (not boots) are permitted.

Students who wear incorrect uniform run the risk of being excluded from lessons until the issue is rectified.

Thank you for your continued support in ensuring our students are dressed smartly.

Uniform Standards

Jewellery

The only items of jewellery permitted for boys and girls are: one pair of stud earrings worn in the lobes, and one watch (not a smart watch). The school cannot accept responsibility for jewellery. Visible piercings, except stud-earrings, are not permitted.

Equipment and Other Valuables

The school cannot accept any responsibility for loss of valuable personal items or equipment including phones, watches, jewellery and headphones. Students are able to purchase a locker when they start the school where valuable items can be stored during Exams, PE Lessons etc.

Hair

Hair must be of a natural colour and worn in a style suitable for a professional establishment. Extremely short hair, extreme hairstyles, shaved heads or very obvious highlights are not acceptable.

Make-up

Make-up should not be worn in school. Nails should be natural with no colour or varnish, acrylics etc are not permitted.

Items not Permitted

Visible body piercings are not acceptable – with the exception of one small stud in each earlobe. We do not allow leather coats and jackets, hoodies, studded clothing or denim. Outside coats and scarves must not be worn inside the building.

Failure to Wear Correct Uniform:

At Harlington we want our students to look professional and well-presented at all times. The correct uniform should be worn around the school and on the journey to and from school. Failure to do so will result in sanctions.
