SCHOOL UNIFORM

School uniform is compulsory for all pupils. Through their dress and appearance as well as in other respects, all pupils should ensure that they are a credit to Harrow Hong Kong and themselves at all times. This includes the journey to and from School and when representing the School off the campus.

PUPIL DRESS CODE

Uniform is one of the obvious links with Harrow School in the UK. Pupils are reminded of the history and tradition that comes with wearing the Bluer and Hat: they are expected to wear the uniform with pride and respect for what it represents. School uniform should be worn to all periods during the School day, apart from PE, Drama and Games periods. Pupils should change into or out of sports kit at break or lunch and not remain in it all day. For boarders, “home clothes” may be worn after the end of the formal School day.

SHIRTS AND TIES

Top buttons and ties must always be done up and shirts tucked in.

BELTS

If belts are worn they must be plain black with a simple buckle.

SHOES AND SOCKS

Only black leather shoes capable of being polished are to be worn as part of School uniform, and these should be accompanied by navy blue ankle socks.

COATS

Coats should be smart and plain without logos, navy, black or grey in colour and long enough to cover the Bluer.

CARDIGANS

When appropriate, cardigans may be worn underneath the Bluer to keep pupils warm. However, cardigans should not be worn instead of a Bluer.

JEWELLERY

No visible jewellery (including charity bracelets) is to be worn other than one pair of earrings (plain studs only) for girls. Body piercing of any kind is strictly forbidden.

HAIR

Hair should always be neat and tidy in appearance and pupils are not allowed any form of haircut, length or style that makes them stand out and may attract unnecessary attention. This means: • No dyed hair. • While length is a matter of perception, hair for boys should always be off the collar.

All girls should tie their hair back if it is longer than shoulder length. • No extreme styles such as gelled spikes or shaved heads. • No hair extensions.

LABELLING

All items of School uniform must be labelled with the pupil’s name and House.

MAKE-UP AND TANNING

Girls below the Sixth Form are not allowed to wear make-up during the School day. Coloured nail polish and fake tan, which draw unnecessary attention, are not allowed.

TATTOOS

Visible tattoos, including when a pupil is wearing a swimsuit, are not permitted.

SPORTS WEAR (PE KIT AND TEAM KIT)

Only official School sports kit may be worn to PE or Games periods. There are team strips for pupils to wear when representing the School in sports matches. Pupils should wear either their white ankle socks or longer sports socks for PE or Games.
