Here at East Hanningfield Academy, pupils are expected to be smart at all times, wear their uniform with pride, and remember that they are ambassadors for the school. School uniforms play a key role in promoting pride, self-confidence, and a feeling of belonging within the student body. These factors contribute to children's well-being, removing the additional pressures of deciding what to wear and added stress of meeting the expectations of their peers.
We request that parents/carers do their utmost to avoid placing their child in a compromising position by ignoring the dress code.
Our school uniform requirements:
Blue polo top (preferably with the school logo on), grey trousers / shorts / pleated skirt, navy round neck sweatshirt or cardigan (preferably with the school logo on).
Blue collared cotton shirt, school tie*, grey trousers / shorts / pleated skirt, navy round neck sweatshirt or cardigan (preferably with the school logo on).
