School uniform

Although Harlands does not have a strict uniform, we do like you to wear the following:

white shirt/blouse/polo shirt
charcoal grey trousers/skirt/pinafore
green sweatshirt/fleece/cardigan/jumper

For PE lessons you will need to have:

white shorts or black cycling shorts
white T shirt
socks
plimsolls (for indoor work)
trainers or football boots (for outdoor work)

You can bring a sweatshirt to keep warm for outdoor PE.

During hot weather, we would also like all children to have a sunhat to wear outside during breaks and even PE lessons!

Shoes - You should wear well-fitting, dark-coloured leather (or leather substitute) shoes to school. High heels, platform soles or sandals with thin straps are not allowed for safety reasons. Trainers are only allowed during PE sessions. You should always wear socks, even in warm weather unless you want to get smelly feet!

We expect you to wear your uniform as tidily as possible. You need to keep your hair off your face, otherwise you won’t be able to see your work properly!

There is not a lot of space on the pegs so try not to bring too much to school – only what you need. Make sure that your name is marked on your clothes, including your shoes and PE kit, so that we can return it to you straight away if you lose it.

There is often discussion about whether wearing school uniform is good or bad. Even if you don’t like wearing it, at least it is easy to know what you are wearing that day! This article is written by a Newsround Press Packer. Do you agree with her?
