Uniform

Uniform expectations

We believe school uniform is very important. As well as identifying students as attending HGS, it embodies our school values. When students wear the uniform, they represent the school and our high standards.

All students in Years 7 to 11 are expected to wear their uniform smartly during the school day and on their way to and from school. Students must arrive at school in full uniform, and may wear a coat over their uniform on their journey to and from school. Hoodies are not permitted.

The purposes of our uniform are:

• to promote a positive image of the school to students, parents and the public.
• to maintain the traditions of the school, encouraging a sense of identity and pride.
• to provide smart, attractive, cost-effective, hard-wearing clothing suitable for all
  seasons.
• to help maintain a disciplined and safe learning environment free from distraction.

Purchasing uniform

We have three authorised stockists for our uniform.

• FHB School Uniform
• Rawcliffes
• SmartUniforms

These stockists have provided a guarantee that they will supply the exact specification of the uniform as described within our school uniform policy. They have therefore been issued with a ‘HGS Certificate of Authenticity’ which will be displayed in their place of business. There are other manufacturers of similar items of uniform, but these items will be a different colour and will not match the official HGS uniform. Parents are asked to use the official stockists only, and may be asked to replace incorrect items.

We understand that purchasing uniform can be costly, so we have a pre-loved uniform shop in school. If your child is eligible for Pupil Premium funding, please Contact us to discuss the support that is available for purchasing uniform.
