Uniform

We believe that a school uniform provides a sense of belonging and identity whilst setting an appropriate tone for an educational environment.

Our children are a part of something special, and so they all wear the same uniform to symbolise belonging to Hartland High School.

All school branded uniform can be purchased from Kitworld.

If you require support with the cost of uniform please contact the school office on admissions@hartlandhigh.co.uk.

We will always try to provide the right uniform for a child who does not have it, but children cannot attend lessons with incorrect uniform.

Further information on our uniform standards can be found in a video here.
