School Uniform and Equipment
Uniform
Visitors remark on how smart our students look and we believe that a proper school uniform, worn appropriately reflects our high standards, expectations and ethos. The principle is, quite simply, that a student who is wearing the correct uniform is showing commitment and pride in being a Haygrove student.
The purpose behind our Haygrove uniform policy is:
- to promote a positive school image
- to encourage self-esteem in students by reducing competitive dressing;
- to prepare students for the expectations of employers with regard to standards of dress
All students are expected to wear school uniform and we seek the support and co-operation of our parents at all times in this.

Equipment
We will issue all Year 7 students with the basic equipment they need to support their learning and ensure a swift start to lessons. The expectation is that students will carry this pencil case with them every day for checking. Students will need to provide their own school bag and scientific calculator.
Student Property
Haygrove School cannot accept liability for the loss or theft of students’ property, nor for any damage done to it during school hours, except in the case of proven negligence.
We strongly advise students do not to bring valuables into school and we would like to ask all parents to check their insurance cover, especially with regard to bicycles.
Mobile Phones
Mobile phones are currently allowed in school, but they MUST be switched off during the school day (8.40am - 3.20pm). The use of a mobile phone for any recording purposes, sound or vision, is strictly forbidden. Failure to comply with these regulations will lead to the phone being confiscated and the student will be banned from bringing a mobile phone to school and could be excluded. This exclusion could be permanent.
Lost Property
Each term we have lots of lost items that are never re-claimed. Please can parents make sure that their child’s belongings, especially their PE Kit, are properly labelled so that if items go missing and are found they can be returned to their owner.
