UNIFORM POLICY and GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS At Harrow Way we are very proud of our school uniform, which is an essential part of our school’s ethos. We believe that a smart uniform improves our students’ self-esteem and confidence and contributes to good behaviour, as well as helping them to feel part of their school community. “Look smart, think smart.” As our uniform is compulsory, we must ensure that schoolwear bought in local stores is consistent with uniform policy. This is not always easy to achieve, as these stores sell a wide variety of clothing styles labelled as ‘school uniform’. The fabric and styling of ‘school trousers’, in particular, differ widely depending on where parents shop. This booklet is therefore designed to offer guidance on which clothing styles are acceptable for school, and where these may be purchased. All students are required to wear the uniform as designated in the school prospectus: BLACK SCHOOL JACKET with embroidered badge* TIES* must be worn properly tied, with the top shirt button fastened. SHIRTS must be white and worn tucked in, with the top button fastened. TROUSERS are permitted for girls and boys but must be plain, black trousers in a classic style – that is, not shaped to hug the legs. They must not be denim or leather, or casual in style. Combat trousers, leggings and jeans are not acceptable. Please see the detailed guide on Page 3, showing where suitable trousers may be bought locally. SOCKS worn with trousers should be plain black. Harrow Way Community School Specialist School in Maths & Computing Please find a Uniform Order Form on the back page of this leaflet.
