Dress for school
Dress for school
Hazlehead Academy encourages the wearing of school uniform by all pupils. Uniform creates a feeling of belonging and provides pupils with an opportunity to identify with Hazlehead Academy. It is smart and economical and creates a purposeful image.
The traditional Hazlehead Academy school colours are green and navy/black.

To ensure that all pupils can participate safely, comfortably and successfully in Physical Education, we ask that all pupils bring a complete change of clothing and footwear to each PE lesson, rather than wearing what they wear to classes.
This includes:
A plain t-shirt or sports top (football tops are not permitted)
Shorts, tracksuit bottoms or leggings suitable for physical activity
Trainers that are secure and appropriate for exercise
For Outdoor Activities
As many PE lessons take place outdoors throughout the year, pupils should also consider bringing:
A waterproof jacket
Additional warm layers (e.g. sweatshirt, hoodie or sports top)
Suitable outdoor footwear where required
A change of socks
Jewellery
All jewellery must be removed or appropriately taped before taking part in PE.
Injuries and Medical Notes
If a pupil is unable to participate in Physical Education due to injury or a medical reason, a note should be provided from home, or a parent/carer should contact the school office before the start of the school day (8:30am).
Where possible, pupils should still bring their PE kit and attend the lesson. Alternative learning activities can often be provided, allowing pupils to remain involved in discussions, observation tasks and other aspects of the learning taking place.
