A uniform creates a sense of identity and community. It promotes a professional approach to learning and creates a positive learning environment. We are very proud of the students at Harris Academy Tottenham, and we expect students to take pride in themselves and their Academy.
Our uniform was designed and selected with input from colleagues and students, and therefore the feedback has been resoundingly positive.
Wearing the uniform correctly, at all times, (including on the way to and from the Academy) will ensure that our students are recognised as young people who believe in high standards and excellence. Uniform must be worn according to the uniform policy.
As part of the Uniform, students will be allocated a lanyard, which should be worn at all times.

Pupils are not allowed to wear make-up (including nail varnish or false nails) to school. If they do, they will be asked to remove it on entry to the Academy. Hairstyles should be kept to an appropriate style – no extreme haircuts (this includes Mohicans) or colouring (natural shades only), or lines shaved into eyebrows. If the Hijab is worn, it must be plain black.

The uniform pupils wear in Reception is slightly different to the rest of the school. This is because we want you to be really comfortable when you’re taking part in so many activities – running around, playing in the water tray and playing with the construction will feel so much better when you’re wearing comfier clothes!
