Uniform
School Uniform is an important part of JHGS's identity and the policy will be enforced. In reviewing the school uniform policy, the Headteacher and Governors have taken account of all statutory and non-statutory guidance issued by the Department for Education.
Mobile phones must be kept in lockers if brought to school, and smart watches are not permitted. In Years 7 to 11 mobile phones will be confiscated if they are seen in school.
All uniform must be labelled, please also make sure that lunch boxes, water bottles, shoes, pencil cases or anything 'detachable' is also labelled. This makes reuniting misplaced items much easier for all.
JHGS uniform is sold by our supplier for both daywear and sports kit - Hawkinsport in Bourne End. The link to their website is here
Parking is available at their store at Unit 10A, Wessex Rd, Bourne End SL8 5DT, and uniform may also be ordered online for delivery either to home or to school.
A JHGS exclusive uniform fitting day for new Year 7 students will be held at Hawkinsport on Saturday 11th July 2026. Appointments should be booked on the Hawkinsport website at the link above.
A full tender process was undertaken in 2021, in line with statutory guidance, and the school seeks to provide the best possible value for money, whilst maintaining the benefits of a standard uniform. In line with statutory guidance there are now only four compulsory branded items of uniform, the black blazer with school logo, the school tie and two items of PE kit. Unbranded items of uniform may be bought at any supplier.
A blazer pocket badge is also available from Hawkinsport which may be sewn onto a plain black blazer if required.
Students must have sports kit as listed for all PE and Games lessons.
Second hand uniform
The school has a stock of second hand uniform and we hold sales regularly. There is a limited quantity of PE kit available from the second hand shop.
Students eligible for Free School Meals are entitled to a grant towards the cost of new school uniform and can access the second hand uniform shop at a reduced price. Please contact the school for details.
SIXTH FORM UNIFORM AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE
Students in the Sixth Form are expected to act as examples to younger students and should present themselves tidily at all times, including the journey to and from school. School uniform will be worn properly at all times, unless the member of staff in charge has agreed otherwise.
The final decision on suitability of dress and presentation rests with the Assistant Head - Director of Sixth Form. The sixth form dress code is here.
