School Uniform
We expect our students to take pride in their appearance and we believe that the wearing of school uniform fosters a sense of identity. If students attend school inappropriately dressed their parents/carers will be contacted. Students are not allowed to attend lessons out of uniform.
See the sections below to find out more about our uniform policy.
Any parent that needs help with school uniform school contact the school via enquiry@hillcrest.bham.sch.uk or via their child’s Head of Year.
We have a small supply of preowned uniform in school, and we are always grateful for donations of uniform. Please contact Ms C Randal Headteachers PA if you need any support with uniform, or if you have any uniform to donate, please drop it into main reception.
