Mr Deery’s Uniform Shop – we want to help!
Loaned uniform is available from the Academy directly. We cannot guarantee all items will be available in every size, but we will work with families to ensure we can share what we can. The school uniform shop will be open for students every day from 7:30-7:50am in M1.
Uniform expectations
Arriving in full school uniform helps students feel equal and gets them ‘Ready to Learn’. Full school uniform should be worn to and from school. Our students are ambassadors for the Academy at all times.
The Academy expectations and uniform apply to all students within the Academy, when travelling to or from the Academy and whilst on trips and visits.
Please note the following points:

- Woolly hats are allowed in the winter months but must not be worn in the school building. Jackets, too, must not be worn inside the building.

Mobile phones, smart watches and smart glasses
At HLAW, mobile phones must be handed in at the start of the school day to keep students focused on learning and protect privacy. If a student is late, it is their responsibility to hand the phone in at reception.
Phones are stored securely during the school day and will returned to students at the end of the school day. It is the responsibility of the student to hand in their phone. If a student fails to hand it their phone it will be confiscated for five school days, after which it will be returned to their parent/carer after 3:45pm. Repeated breaches of this policy will result in mobile phones being confiscated for extended periods of time.
Smart watches and glasses (internet glasses) are fulled banned because they also allow students to go online whilst in class. This rule helps our students learn better and stay safe.
