Uniform
We are proud of our uniform at The Royal Harbour Academy and set high standards for all students, in all year groups. We believe that wearing a smart uniform helps instill a feeling of pride and community identity. Please be reminded that hoodies, branded or labeled clothing, except coats, are not allowed on site.
While we do allow all black training shoes, other styles of trainers are not permitted and nor are jogging bottoms or leggings. We would also like to remind you that students should not have fake nails, and piercings are limited to one pair of stud earrings only. Students must also ensure that their hair colour and style is also appropriately formal, with only natural hair colours permitted.
If you have any difficulty purchasing uniform, please contact the school so that we can see how best to support you in ensuring your child is dressed appropriately and correctly.
Mobile Phones
Please be reminded that we are a phone free school, this also includes our outside spaces. Students are allowed to bring their phone into school to use before and after school, but are not permitted to use them during the school day for safeguarding purposes.
