Uniform
Our distinctive green and gold school uniform provides a sense of unity and collective identity. We ask that students take pride in their appearance, arriving at school clean, neat and wearing the correct uniform as outlined in our guidelines below. Although we believe it is the student’s responsibility to dress according to Heaton’s guidelines we ask caregivers to offer support where required.
A patch with the new logo is available for purchase from the canteen to update the green soft shell jackets.

Students are required to wear black lace-up or T-bar leather shoes as part of the regulation uniform.
Pupils should also have suitable footwear for Physical Education and Sport. Parents are reminded of the need for children to wear suitably protective footwear while working in Technology areas.
Jewellery
Students may wear a necklace of cultural or religious significance. Plain silver or gold ear studs are permitted.
Rings and bracelets are not permitted for safety reasons. Nose piercings must be flesh coloured.
The school accepts no responsibility for lost jewellery.
Overclothing
Children may wear protective clothing over their uniforms when travelling to and from school. Full school uniform must be worn during the school day.
A key feature of our school is the large number of students who travel by bike or scooter each day. Visibility is extremely important for student safety, particularly during winter.
If your child travels to school by bike or scooter, we strongly encourage them to wear high-visibility protection such as:
- High-visibility jacket or raincoat.
- High-visibility elastic braces worn over clothing.
- High-visibility backpack cover.
Hair
Hair should be tidy at all times and worn in keeping with the intended spirit of the school uniform.
Students with long hair should tie it back neatly.
Manner of Attire
Students are expected to wear their uniforms neatly and refrain from wearing makeup, nail polish, and similar products.
Naming of Uniform
Parents are encouraged to clearly name all clothing and equipment. Each year, many items are lost or remain unclaimed.
