New PE Kit available for September 2024

Students in KS3 have four PE practical lessons over the fortnight timetable; KS4 have two with additional practical lessons for their optional courses. This meets Government guidelines allowing pupils to improve physical and mental health. Students are required to bring full Halewood PE kit for these lessons.

In response to pupil feedback around the style of the PE kit, and to help families with the rise in the cost of living we have designed a new PE kit which will be available ready for September 2024. New style items are pictured below.

This includes:

• New style round neck T-shirt pictured below (compulsory) *New price £12.95/£14.95 down from £18.30/£20.05

• Quarter zip jumper (optional)

• New Swacket pictured below (optional)

• Plain black shorts, tracksuit bottomsorleggings (compulsory and purchased from any location preferable to families)

• Trainers (purchased from any location)

If your child still has the existing style of PE kit, which still fits and does not need replacing, they are more than welcome to continue to wear this. However, if it is too small or has been lost, the new style kit will be available to buy via the school website in time for September 2024.

In the same way we have high standards and expectations of school uniform, the PE department adheres to the school uniform policy for its kit, therefore we expect all pupils to wear the Halewood PE kit. It should be a very rare occasion that alternative clothing should be used for lessons. Therefore, can we please ask for your support in ensuring your child brings the correct PE kit when they are timetabled for practical PE lessons.

Hopefully will we will see an improvement in the standard of kit if we work together. Please remember we can support if needed. If you have any questions please contact school by emailing admin@halewoodacademy.co.uk

In order to guarantee receipt of your child's uniform, we recommend you place your order as soon as possible. Below are some links to help you order the correct sizes.

Hoodies are not acceptable on the Academy premises

Hair -  A pupil’s haircut is a very important part of their overall presentation. The Academy will not accept extreme haircuts. Pupils are not allowed to have extreme hair colours; colour change should appear natural. The Academy reserves the right to internally exclude pupils with an extreme hairstyle. Shoulder length hair should be tied back for all practical lessons. Hair bands should be plain in their appearance. Hair accessories must be only plain white, navy blue or black in colour.

Make up - Make up, false eyelashes and nail varnish are not permitted. Pupils who wear make-up, false eyelashes and nail varnish will be asked to remove it. Pupils failing to do so when asked will face appropriate sanctions.

Jewellery - Pupils may wear a wristwatch. They may also wear a cross or other symbol of faith for religious reasons but it may not be visible. Pupils with medical conditions can wear an identity tag. No badges are to be worn other than those issued by the Academy and one charity badge. Any inappropriate jewellery will be confiscated and placed in the Academy’s safe. The Academy cannot accept responsibility for the safe keeping of jewellery. All jewellery must be removed for Physical Education.

Piercings - Pupils are not permitted to wear any form of facial or body piercing (including ears). Pupils who persistently violate these rules will be internally excluded. Earrings and other piercings covered by plasters are also not acceptable.

Mobile Phones - Pupils are not permitted to use mobile phones during school hours. If a pupil is found using a mobile phone they will be asked to put it away.  If this does not happen, the mobile phone will be confiscated.  This may mean the phone is securely stored in the school safe and may be returned the following day to parents.
