We believe that the wearing of a school uniform enables students to identify with their school, gives a sense of belonging, is practical and smart, reinforces a positive work ethos and reduces expenditure for parents/carers.

At Highters Heath it is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in school-organised events outside normal school hours.  School uniform is a way of showing that the children and parents/ carers are READY, RESPECTFUL and SAFE, in line with our whole-school ethos.

Some items of uniform can be bought with the Highters Heath Community School logo on, whilst other plain items are easily available, at very competitive prices, at local shops including supermarkets. A complete list of the items needed for school uniform, including those for P.E. and Outdoor Learning, is included in this policy.

Uniform Policy

At Highters Heath Community School, we believe that the wearing of a school uniform enables students to identify with their school, gives a sense of belonging, is practical and smart, reinforces a positive work ethos and reduces expenditure for parents/carers. 

Our school uniform colour is a combination of red, white and grey/black. Most items can be bought from High Street shops. Items marked with a * below can be bought with the school logo on if preferred. Jumpers and book bags with logos on can be purchased from the school office.

Book bag £7.25

Our school uniform is gender neutral and consists of the following:

• Red Book bag*
• White polo shirt
• Grey or black skirt / pinafore dress / shorts / trousers (not jogging bottoms)

Please note skirts and tailored shorts should be a minimum of knee length and of a style which allows children to sit comfortably on the floor. Three-quarter, calf-length and full-length leggings should not be worn.

• Red & white checked dresses
