Holland Park School requires its pupils to wear suitable uniform clothing for school.
The Wearing of School Uniform

* encourages pride in the school.
* prevents discrimination.
* reduces arguments about clothes at home and school.
* makes recognition of pupils easier.

Black, flat shoes must be worn in school. During inclement weather then flat soled, sensible boots may be worn to school. During the summer term children may wear black or white sandals.

Second Hand Uniform
The PTA will hold second hand uniform sales regularly throughout the year. All donations are welcome.
Games and P.E.
•The school is required to comply with the Essex County Council Health and Safety policy for PE. In this policy it clearly states that ALL jewellery must be removed for PE, including pierced earrings. Please note that for Health and Safety reasons, earrings or other jewellery (unless on religious grounds) should not be worn during school hours. Watches are allowed but should also be removed for PE lessons. Earring sleeper studs, if worn, must be removed before the children can take part in PE/Games sessions. It is helpful if children remove them before coming to school on PE days.
A change in the Essex Policy now states that children can no longer cover the studs with Micropore tape for PE. Newly pierced earrings must now be covered before coming to school with fabric plasters by Parents or Carers on PE days. These must then be left on the earrings all day.
