Uniform
School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school, supporting effective teaching and learning.
Uniform is an important part of Lea Manor culture which all pupils should wear with pride and helps support positive behaviour and discipline. Our uniform ensures children of all races and backgrounds feel welcome in our school whilst also protecting them from social pressures to dress in a particular way.
The school uniform represents a reasonable requirement and pays regard to the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Race Relations Amendment Act 2002.
Every pupil is required to wear the Lea Manor school uniform.
School Uniform
The Lea Manor school uniform consists of:
- LMHS grey blazer
- LMHS grey V-neck jumper (optional)
- LMHS full length purple school tie
- White shirt with collar (long sleeve or short sleeve)
- Grey school trousers
- Grey pleated school skirt (skirt length must be to the knee)

Additional Items
Hair
Pupils are expected to have sensible hair styles. Long hair must be kept in place with neat unobtrusive hair fastenings. Pupils are not permitted to have lines or patterns in their hair or eyebrows. All pupils hair should be of a natural colour.
Headscarves
Girls who wish to wear headscarves may do so as long as these conform to the requirements listed below:
- The fabric should be lightweight and black.
- The headscarves should be folded under the chin, taken round to the back of the neck and the ends tucked in - this conforms to health and safety requirements.
Jewellery
All pupils may wear a wrist watch and one pair of plain studs in their ears. No other items of jewellery may be worn to school, and watches are not to be worn in exams. All jewellery must be very simple and inexpensive, as the school cannot take any responsibility for loss. Facial or multiple ear piercings are not allowed.

Dark coats, such as black or navy, should be worn by pupils to keep warm traveling to school or when spending break and lunch times outside. Hoodies and non-school jumpers are not to be worn.
