Haslingden High School insists on high standards of uniform. It is important that students take pride in their appearance and are aware of the impression their appearance makes within the community. Haslingden High School seeks to promote a sense of belonging and shared identity through the implementation of its uniform policy.
The Headteacher will be the arbiter in all matters relating to uniform, dress and appearance. Parents/carers and students are advised to consult the Deputy Headteacher (Care, Guidance and Support), or a member of the School Leadership Team, if they are considering uniform, dress or appearance changes that might conflict with the school policy.
Any student who arrives out of uniform, in unsuitable uniform, wearing inappropriate jewellery, or with an unsuitable hairstyle or hair colour may be removed from lessons and their parent/carer contacted. A record will be made in the student’s file. If a student persistently ignores the uniform code, the school will need to employ further sanctions.

Games / PE and Dance Kit:
The school’s official PE Kit supplier is Surridge Sports www.surridgesports.co.uk.
Orders may be placed online with Surridge Sports or by collecting an order form from the PE Office at school. Alternatively, kit may be purchased from Amins on Bank Street in Rawtenstall or Abbey Street Shopping Centre, Accrington. Both these options are useful as students can try on the kit.
We have our own webshop with Surridge. You can click on the link below to access the HHS PE Webshop:

The compulsory item needed from Surridge is a Navy Blue Surridge T-shirt with School PE Badge.
All other items of PE kit can be purchased from Surridge or other local stores.

Shin pads in PE
Students must have shin pads for all football lessons during both curriculum time PE and for all extracurricular football sessions. We have been advised by the local authority that it is a parental responsibility to provide shin pads where schools have requested this. A letter was sent to all parents in March 2022 regarding the use of shin pads in school. Please click here for the link to the letter for future reference.
We have looked locally on behalf of parents and Sports Direct has shin pads available for £3.99, which are available both in-store and online.
Should you have any questions regarding PE Kit, please contact the Head of PE and Sport, Mr Haworth.
Parents should note that blazers, skirts and ties are only available from school. Other items of school uniform may be purchased from any other retailer. We recommend your local superstore for inexpensive and hardwearing items of school uniform.
Outdoor coats are not to be worn inside the school. Parents are asked to buy only blue or black outdoor coats. Trainers are only acceptable for PE. Caps, hoodies and denim jackets are not allowed on school premises.
Hairstyles and colouring:
Parents should be aware that we do not permit extremes of fashion in students’ hairstyles or dress. Added hair colours must be natural and subtle (bright colours including shades of red, and dip dying, are not permitted). Hair braiding is only acceptable without beads or accessories. Close shaved heads and patterns cut into hair or eyebrows are not acceptable. Very short hairstyles or extreme hairstyles (eg where some hair is very short and the rest isn’t) are not acceptable. As a guide for parents, no part of the hair should be shorter than a number 2 blade. Students who have shoulder-length hair or longer may be required to tie it back for health and safety reasons and/or if it obscures the face.
Jewellery, Make-up and Valuables:
Make-up, nail varnish, false nails and false eyelashes are not appropriate for school and therefore not allowed.
Jewellery must be limited to a watch and one pair of studs, one worn in each ear. Health and safety and security considerations mean that other items of jewellery are not permissible and will be confiscated if worn.
Watches and studs should be removed for practical lessons when necessary or any lesson where they may pose a danger. Individual subject teachers will make the decision.
The school cannot accept any responsibility for the loss of valuables.
No facial or body piercing is permitted for health and safety reasons.
The school will temporarily confiscate inappropriate items of jewellery and valuables.
If a student persistently ignores these rules the school will employ further sanctions (please also see Behaviour for Learning & Exclusion Policy).
