Uniform Policy

All students in years 7- 11 from September 2025 are required to have a blazer. The information for the uniform will be updated here as soon as possible.

Academy Uniform  

At Haven High Academy, we are mindful of the cost of uniform, and the pressures that teenagers feel as they mature. Therefore, we have tried to be flexible in our approach to ensure a sense of belonging and community as well as being cost effective and allowing our young people a sense of individuality. We are also mindful of the fact that we need to make sure that all students are kept safe, and this is the rationale behind decisions on jewellery, false nails and hoodies. 

 

Uniform Expectations for Years 7 to 11.

Please note the following points (we respect individuality, but we need to ensure health and safety within a school setting): 

• Any jewellery allowed must be easily removable when required at certain lessons or events such as PE , Hair and Beauty or any other times when requested. This is to ensure no accidents happen. Students need to comply quickly with no arguments. 

• Ear-studs may be worn but no hoops or anything that is loose or dangly. Anything that cannot be removed easily is also not permitted, e.g. spacers. 

• Students should not have an extreme hairstyle or wear excessive make-up. Please note that it is staff who shall decide what is extreme or excessive. 

• Any student with hair longer than collar length may be asked to tie their hair up in certain circumstances if deemed unsafe, e.g. using a Bunsen burner in science, PE lessons, etc. 

• No gel or acrylic nails (these can potentially cause harm to the wearer or to others e.g. PE and cannot be easily removed). Clear or natural nail varnish is permitted. 

• All students need to have a bag for books etc 

• Please make sure all items are clearly marked with the student’s name. 

• Shoes should be flat, plain black, polishable or patent - shoes must not have any logos / visible branding.

• Socks must be black, as a block colour with no writing. 

• Coats/jackets must not be worn in class unless permitted by a staff member in cold circumstances. Coat hoods should never be up inside the building. Coats to be plain blue or black where possible.
