ParentsUniform
At Harlands, we are proud of our school uniform and the sense of community it creates. Wearing a uniform sets a boundary by placing pupils in a ‘working environment’ mindset, separating their home and school life. It also places children on a level playing field. As a school therefore, we understand that the cost of our school uniform should not be a barrier or cause for concern for our parents / carers.
As a school, we have a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform.
We have therefore limited the number of branded school uniform items for this academic year and moving forward.
Non branded everyday uniform
Non branded PE Kit
Branded uniform: we have kept this to a minimum and even these items are optional. Should you wish plain bottle green v-neck sweatshirts or cardigans are suitable. The green PE top can be substituted for a plain white or bottle green tee-shirt.

Secondhand Uniform
-
A limited supply of secondhand uniform is available from a cabinet in the school Office area (for a small donation). If you cannot find something suitable, please ask a member of the Office team as we may be able to find an appropriate item from the (larger) store held by the PTA.
-
Harlands PTA organise regular second-hand uniform sales from time to time, and information is published on the school newsletter.
Please ensure that all items brought to school, including clothing, school bags, water-bottles, lunchboxes and glasses cases, are labelled with the child's name.
