Uniform
At The Hart School we firmly believe that the wearing of a smart school uniform encourages pride and loyalty to the school and demonstrates that the student is a willing member of our community. Parents and carers are asked to ensure that their child is dressed correctly for school. We particularly welcome your support on uniform and equipment.

- Plain black leather or leather-look school shoes with black socks.
- Shoes with rubber toe; pumps; training shoes; canvas, suede or logo styles are not acceptable.

Trousers
- Straight leg, full length plain black trousers, formal style from school wear range, short length trousers, leggings, jeggings, and jeans do not meet our uniform standards.
