As a School our reputation depends in part upon the appearance and behaviour of all of our students. Uniform helps our students feel a sense of pride and belonging to our school community and prepares them for the world of work. All Humphreys students are expected to be neat and tidy in their appearance and to wear school uniform in school, on the journey to and from school, and on school occasions.
Our school uniform, designed and chosen by our students, is smart, attractive, easy to obtain, and good value. Students must be in full uniform for school each day, including any days when there are school trips (unless they are instructed otherwise by staff).
The Humphrey Perkins School Uniform Policy is strongly supported by both students and parents. Every staff member is responsible for ensuring that the uniform code is strictly followed by every student and any infringements are dealt with and reported to parents, tutors, Heads of Years or the Pastoral Team (if continual uniform issues persist).

Students and parents should check uniforms and if necessary replenish any items that have been lost or damaged during the term. Students not in full school uniform will be loaned the correct uniform for the day. Items borrowed must be returned or a charge may be incurred.
This is not an exhaustive list, and subject to addition or change by the school.
The school uniform, as on the approved uniform list, must be complete and carefully worn. Students may be sent home if they arrive at school incorrectly dressed and parents’ co-operation in the enforcement of these standards is most earnestly sought. No deviation from the school uniform will be allowed; it must be complete and worn with pride.
Uniform and dress code will be checked each morning and at the start and end of each lesson. Staff will also check and challenge incorrectly dressed students around the campus throughout the school day.
If a student is inappropriately dressed they are expected to rectify the issue immediately by either addressing the infringement or borrowing the correct uniform.
If the uniform issue cannot be rectified in school the student will be sent home to rectify the issue, and parents informed. If this is not possible the student will be isolated for the remainder of the day, and for subsequent days until the issue has been resolved.
Uniform can be purchased from Schoolwear Solutions, 64 London Road, Oadby, Leicester, LE2 5DH.
A full measuring and selling service is provided to all new and existing students. These events will take place in the summer term (July) onsite at Humphrey Perkins. All new school uniform will be delivered to school for free.
Uniform can also be purchased online here.
Any issues or difficulties in financing the purchase of our school uniform should be referred to Mr Cross at the school for further action or advice kristian.cross@humphreyperkins.org.uk
