Uniform
WE BELIEVE
Uniforms help to define the ethos of an academy and the standards expected.
They help give pupils pride in their school and make them ambassadors for their school in the community.
As an academy we have designed our uniform to ensure that it is inclusive as possible, whilst being mindful to ensure that it is cost effective for parents/carers.
We are very proud of the smart appearance of the children at Hadley Learning Community. Details of our full school uniform are as follows:

Grey or black trousers
White polo shirt*
Royal blue crewneck sweatshirt or cardigan*
Sensible, comfortable in all weather and practical flat black shoes.

Parents are to inform the school in writing if they are not able to comply with the uniform policy for any reason. For example, there may be a valid medical reason why a child has to wear alternative footwear to that in the policy.
