School Uniform
Hadley Learning Community believes that the pride our students take in their appearance is a reflection of their attitude to their studies. In 2017/18 we released a new school uniform as voted for by our students. The student body decided to make changes to a more formal uniform code and this was wholeheartedly supported by our parents and governors during a consultation.
With this in mind we would like to thank you for supporting us to maintain our excellent standard of uniform and appearance. However we would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of our expectations, as outlined below:
Uniform
School uniform should not be confused with current ‘fashion’!
Students should travel to and from school in full uniform.
- Black HLC blazer with the HLC logo
- White shirt – with the top button fastened
- School tie – house colours
- Optional black school jumper with HLC logo
- Black trousers for boys or girls OR black skirt (maximum of one inch above the knee) for girls
- Black shoes – Please purchase plain and traditional leather school/work shoes. No trainers or pumps. Any brand such as Nike, Adidas and Converse will be classed as trainers
