School Uniform

As a school, we firmly believe that our school uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to our ethos. It sets an appropriate tone that supports effective teaching and learning. Working with our students and families, we have made a lot of progress towards achieving the consistent appearance of student uniform, and we are keen to maintain this. Students are therefore expected to wear the uniform as listed below.

Our School Uniform

• School blazer must be worn at all times (during exceptional weather circumstances, the Head of School may allow them to be removed and carried around the school building);
• School shirts must have a fastening top button that is done up. The shirt must be tucked in at all times.
• School tie is worn to show both year team coloured stripes.
• Black trousers or black knee-length skirt (both with the Harper Green logo visible).
• Students may wear a plain black v-neck jumper underneath their school blazer. This does not have to be the official Harper Green one, but should be completely plain without any pattern if not. Skirts should not be rolled up.
• Black socks. For those wearing skirts, these must be knee length and without additional design. For those wearing trousers, these must be plain black.
• During the winter months (1^stNovember to 31^st March), those students wearing skirts must also wear tights. Skirts should not be rolled up and the Harper Green badge should be visible.
• Coats may be worn to and from school, and outside at break and lunchtime.  Coats are not to be worn in the building or between lessons.
• Hooded tops and caps are not permitted.
