Uniform & Equipment

We are pleased to have a traditional and professional uniform for all students within our academy. 

A uniform fosters a sense of identity and community, promoting a professional attitude towards learning and creating a positive educational environment. At Harris Science Academy East London, we take great pride in our students and expect them to take pride in themselves and their Academy.

Every student should wear the uniform correctly every day, as the Academy expects the highest standards of presentation from all its pupils. Adhering to the uniform policy ensures that our students are recognized as young individuals who uphold high standards and strive for excellence.

At HSAEL, our goal is to minimize distractions, promote equality, and maintain a focus on academic achievement. Therefore, makeup, jewellery, fake nails, and eyelashes are not permitted. head scarfs and hair accessories should be plain black and Outdoor jackets should be plain black, dark blue or dark green in colour. Hoddies and leather, jean or fur(real or fake) material jackets are not permitted on site.
