Appearance & Uniform
The academy takes great pride in the appearance of its students and we welcome the co-operation of parents in this matter. We all need to work together to maintain our high standards. This is extremely important to the general discipline and ethos of the school. Students need to wear the uniform correctly to reflect a smart, dignified appearance.

Further information on P.E Uniform:
All students should be in shorts & t shirts for indoor lessons.
For outdoor lessons students can also wear the specified long sleeved rugby shirt (which can be purchased from the school clothing company).
Students will be informed on the day of their PE lesson if they are able to wear black track suit trousers. This will be at the teachers discretion, therefore it is expected that the students bring shorts to all lessons, avoiding incorrect kit being worn.
Hall park Academy logo leggings can be worn during the winter months only. These are available from a different supplier, Liss Sport, and can be found here: https://www.lisssport.co.uk/
Extra items will be required for the student's protection such as a gum shield or shin pads.
All jewellery must be removed for PE lessons to avoid injury.
It is an expectation that students bring PE uniform to all PE lessons. If a student is unable to take part in an activity due to injury or other medical conditions, they must still bring their full PE uniform. Students will still take part in the lesson in a coaching or officiating role. Failure to bring school PE uniform will result in a sanction.

Pre-Loved Uniform
Hall Park Academy have been and continue to work with Durban House Community Hub, who have organised a uniform bank. We have successfully been running uniform rallies to collate pre-loved uniform from students past and present. This is then donated to the Community Hub to be reallocated. Please see their Facebook page for details by clicking here. Uniform donations can be made at the sites listed on the page or dropped off in school.
