HIBS has a smart grey and blue uniform with red trim. Students are expected to wear the correct uniform and to be smartly presented at school, at any school function and when travelling to or from school. It is a mark of pride in the school. Both the student and his parents are expected to uphold this commitment if they accept a place at our school.
Grooming - Uniform is expected to be clean and tidy, in good repair and worn correctly at all times. Socks when worn in formal settings including class time, must be pulled up. Shoes or sandals must be kept clean. Only sandals sold with a back strap are permitted to be worn at school. All students are to be clean shaven. Hair should be clean, tidy, groomed (brushed or combed) and of a natural colour (one colour only). Hair must be cut back off the face, and if worn long must be tied back. Jewellery, including but not restricted to rings, ear studs, bracelets and necklaces are not to be worn.
Applications for dispensation on cultural grounds need to be made in writing to the Senior Management Team.
A full schedule of uniform requirements is listed on this page.
