Uniform, Equipment & Prohibited Items

Academy Uniform

Students from Harris Academy Beulah Hill will be in smart uniform and well equipped to learn.

Students are expected to be of smart and sensible appearance. Individual fashion statements such as extreme make-up, hair styles or colours, designer or sportswear, trainers, decorated footwear, face piercings and decorative dental wear is not permitted. Refer to the Uniform Policy for further details.

By requiring students to wear the Academy uniform, it is intended to develop their sense of loyalty to the community of which they are members, and to encourage them to take pride in their appearance. Students are expected to wear full Academy uniform on the way to and from the Academy. All items of uniform should be clearly marked or labelled.

If students are not in full uniform, they will not be able to attend lessons. They will work in the referral room, until the correct uniform is brought to them, or they will be sent home to change, with parental permission. If a student persistently fails to wear uniform the normal Academy procedure for student support should be followed (see Student Behavior Policy).
