Uniform & Equipment
From September 2021, on a day that a student has PE, they will need to bring their Academy PE kit into the Academy and get changed at the start of their lesson.
Uniform Supplier
Over the last few weeks Monkhouse Schoolwear have been investing in a brand new store refit in both the Bedminster and Stoke Gifford stores to create a better shopping experience for parents/carers and students in the run up to re-opening of non-essential stores. The refits are going well; however, there has been a slight delay on both store refits. Both stores will be reopening from Monday 19th April on the following days: Monday, Thursday and Saturdays until full reopening in time for the Back To School Period.

Student Appearance
Make Up – At Hanham Woods Academy the wearing of make up, including nail varnish, is discouraged as it is contrary to the business like values the Academy aims to promote. If make up is worn, then it must be of a very discrete nature. Acrylic nails should not be worn at any time.
Hairstyles – For Health and Safety reasons, and to support the general business like values of the Academy, Hanham Woods Academy expects students to have no extreme hairstyles. If the Principal, or a member of staff acting for the principal, considers a students hairstyle to be unreasonable, then the student will be asked to rectify the matter.
School bags – All students should bring a ‘school bag’ to the Academy every day. A ‘school bag’ is defined by the Academy as a bag which is suitable to carry of up to A4 size, basic equipment and kit for other subjects. Typically, students carry small waterproof rucksacks.
Jewellery – A simple ear and/or nose stud may be worn to the Academy but must be removed or taped for PE. Apart from this, for health and Safety reasons and to promote the general business-like values of the Academy, no additional jewellery may be worn, i.e. no hooped ear/nose-rings or additional facial piercings.
