Collecting from School
Please help us to make the most of our day by waiting until just before the finish time of school before entering the site and maintaining a distance from the classroom windows whilst lessons are taking place.
Parents are requested to dress their children in sensible and suitable clothing. Whilst the wearing of a school uniform is not compulsory, The Havelock Schools have received overwhelming support from parents for adopting a policy of encouraging children to wear the following items of clothing:
- Burgundy sweatshirt/ jumper/cardigan, white/burgundy polo shirt
- Grey/black skirt/trousers
- Sports Kit: Burgundy/black shorts, white tee-shirt, trainers, black/dark coloured leggings/joggers in winter
- Sensible shoes in black, grey or brown
Uniform is available to purchase through www.karlsports.co.uk but can also be purchased from other shops without the school logo. Second hand uniform is also available – please enquire at the school offices.
For reasons of health and safety, and in line with our schools’ policy, we ask your children not to wear jewellery to school. Watches may be worn as the children move into the Junior School. If it is necessary to wear earrings, only studs should be worn at school in order to reduce the likelihood of accidents. If you are getting your child’s ears pierced, please aim to do this at the beginning of the summer holidays. No jewellery is to be worn for any activities involving physical education. Jewellery must be removed for P.E lessons and we ask that you do this before your child comes to school. This is for your child’s safety and we thank you for your support with this matter.
Please note: ALL items of clothing must be clearly marked with the child's name.

If a child resides in a local authority care home, they will not qualify for free school meals. This is because government funding has already been allocated to fund their meals.
