School Uniform Policy
Hazelwick
is distinguished by its uniform which is smart work wear that gives students a feeling of belonging to the school and is viewed very favourably by the wider community.
All students wear the school blazer and tie, as well as the school PE kit. School uniform is sold by our supplier – Broadbridges. Items can be purchased online (www.broadbridges.co.uk) or by visiting their retail outlet in Horsham or Haywards Heath.

Muslim students from families for whom the wearing of the Hijab is important are allowed to do so, providing the Hijab is in the approved school colour and size. Sikh turbans (in approved school colours) are also permitted.
Students are prohibited from wearing all jewellery except a watch and one set of small, plain earrings (worn in the lower lobe of the ear only). Nail varnish, false nails and charity bands are not allowed.
Hair must be worn in a style which, in the judgement of the school, is appropriate for the formal uniform situation and the school workplace. An unnatural striking appearance (shaved lines or patterns, unnatural colours or haircuts shorter than a number 2) is inappropriate. If in doubt, please speak to your child’s Head of Year. Advice should be sought in advance of styling, since the style is not allowed unless permission has been granted by the school.
Make up should be discreet and light (at the discretion of the school staff).
Hooded tops of a sweatshirt material (zipped or otherwise) are not allowed to be worn to school.

Sixth Form
All Hazelwick sixth formers are expected to dress formally, as are all members of any professional community. This code is intended to clarify our expectations regarding appropriate sixth form appearance. It is deliberately detailed in order to prevent uncertainty and misunderstanding about what is acceptable. Students are encouraged to check prior to making any purchases and/or wearing a specific item of clothing if they are unsure it meets the requirements. As a general rule a student should be able to go straight from school to a formal interview without the need to go home and get changed.
