After careful consideration of feedback, Hertswood Academy have decided to introduce a new uniform in September 2025 that we believe is both practical and smart, while still maintaining the strong identity of Hertswood Academy.

This new uniform is compulsory for students joining Hertswood from September 2025. Further down this page you will also find details of previous uniform, which remains acceptable for students who joined the school before that date.

At Hertswood, and at all times, we expect our students to be clean, tidy and well presented in full school uniform. All uniform requirements are the same all year round, except where specifically stated.

Our recommended school outfitters are Stevensons, 131-135 Victoria Street, St Albans, AL1 3XS. Telephone: 01727 853262. There may be alternative suppliers that provide identical items to these, which are also acceptable. Stevensons carry stock in their St Albans shop where items can be purchased at any time of the year. Additionally, items can be ordered by telephone or online.

We will endeavour to support any families with funding to ensure they are able to provide the correct uniform if required. Please contact your child's Head of Learning for advice.

The PE faculty will provide an appropriate team shirt for all students who represent the Academy in a sporting fixture.

The Academy reserves the right at any time to determine what is unacceptable in terms of its uniform. Sweatshirts and hooded tops should not be worn. Students who arrive at school wearing inappropriate footwear will be issued with a pair of plain black plimsolls.

Students may be sent home to change into what is considered acceptable.

The details below reflect uniform requirements prior to September 2025. This uniform remains acceptable for students who joined before that date, however, when items of students' existing uniform require replacement, we strongly encourage them to purchase the new items detailed above.
