Parent feedback on our Carol ConcertI was hugely impressed with the quality of the performances at the HABE concert last night. The concert band were excellent by any measure - first class. The Yr7 choir, chamber choir and soloists were also incredible as was the Year 7 choir.

Academy Uniform

Students from Harris Academy Beckenham will be in smart uniform and well equipped to learn.

Students are expected to be of smart and sensible appearance. Individual fashion statements such as extreme hair styles or colours, designer shirts, trainers and decorated footwear are not permitted. Tram lines or other shaved shapes in the hair and ‘bar codes’ in eyebrows are not permitted. Extreme hairstyles are not allowed, this includes Mohican haircuts. Tinted or cosmetic contact lenses and decorative dental wear are not permitted. No bandannas, hoods, caps or hats at any time.

By requiring students to wear the Academy uniform, it is intended to develop their sense of loyalty to the community of which they are members, and to encourage them to take a pride in their appearance. Students are expected to wear full Academy uniform on the way to and from the Academy. All items of uniform should be clearly marked or labelled.

If students are not in full uniform they will not be able to attend lessons. They will work in the referral room, until the correct uniform is brought to them or they will be sent home to change, with parental permission. If a student persistently fails to wear uniform the normal Academy procedure for student support should be followed (see Student Discipline Policy Document).

Jewellery, money, phones

No jewellery except for one wrist watch. Nose studs and other forms of body piercing are not permitted. No accessories are to be worn around the neck or attached to clothing. 

Large amounts of money and expensive personal effects should not be brought to the Academy. Harris Academy Beckenham will not accept liability for any claim arising from theft, accidental loss or damage to personal effects, money, belongings or clothing whilst on the Academy premises.

Personal stereos, mobile telephones, pagers, computer games, etc. MUST NOT be brought to the Academy. Jewellery and other forbidden items will be confiscated and only returned at the end of term after the Academy celebration assembly.  Money should be kept in purses or money belts.  No other money pouches will be acceptable.


Uniform stock

We are pleased to tell you that we have started to stock donated uniform items. At the moment we have limited stock but we hope, with your support, that stock will increase over time and grow into a well-used resource for families. Parents/carers are welcome to drop off unwanted uniform items at any time to reception. (Washed first!).

The Uniform Shop will be open by appointment only by emailing Mrs Miles in the main office on S.miles@harrisbeckenham.org.uk  

We hope you are able to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain uniform items but it’s success does rely on donations from parents/carers so your support is very much part of its potential success.
