The academy uniform

At Havelock Academy, we are proud of our uniform and the sense of belonging it creates. We expect all students to wear their uniform correctly and maintain a smart appearance at all times.

Our uniform policy helps promote equality, reduces distractions and ensures students are recognised for their character, effort and achievements rather than appearance or fashion trends.

We appreciate the support of parents and carers in helping students uphold these standards
