Uniforms

At HGS we ensure that the uniform supplier arrangements give the highest priority to cost and value for money (including the quality and durability of the garment).

We keep the use of branded items to a minimum.

We strongly believe that our uniform plays a key role in:

  • promoting the ethos of our school
  • providing a sense of belonging and identity
  • setting an appropriate tone for education
