At Hardenhuish School, we take pride in the way our students present themselves. Designed in consultation with students and parents, it is both practical and affordable, with high-quality materials that support comfort and durability.
We believe that wearing a uniform helps with a positive learning environment. It promotes unity, reduces peer pressure around clothing choices, and ensures that all students feel part of the school community. Our expectations are clear: students should wear their uniform smartly and with pride, both in school and when travelling to and from the site.
Our dress code is guided by the following principles:
- Choice and Accessibility: Families are free to purchase most items from a range of retailers, ensuring accessibility and value.
- Simplicity and Sensibility: Clothing should be plain, appropriate, and suitable for the school day, allowing students to focus on learning.
- Focus on Learning: A consistent dress code enables staff to concentrate on teaching and learning, rather than on managing fashion trends or inappropriate attire.
We ask all students to uphold these standards every day, recognising that how they wear their uniform reflects not only on themselves but also on the wider Hardenhuish community.
