PE/ Games Kit Guidelines and rules for wearing performance/compression leggings All students are given the opportunity to take part in a wide range of physical activities. In the interests of safety and personal hygiene, students need to be dressed appropriately for these activities whilst still retaining a school identity and a smart appearance. The PE kit allows our students some choice in what they can wear for lessons whilst at the same time retaining uniformity but, more importantly, they can be suitably dressed for specific activities indoors and outside, whatever the conditions. Performance/compression leggings are an optional item that can be worn by both girls and boys. Performance/compression leggings may be worn for outdoor PE lessons only. They are not part of the compulsory kit and should not be purchased as a substitute for either school shorts or skort. Only quality sporting leggings are permitted. If items are branded, the logo must be small and discreet. Tights or fashion leggings are not permitted (lesser quality tights and fashion leggings are proven to be transparent on occasions and not appropriate for PE activities). If students opt to wear leggings they are required to wear shorts or a skort over the top. Staff can reserve the right to not allow students to participate if they are found to be wearing unsuitable items of uniform. Students may wear tracksuit bottoms in the winter months if they prefer. They don't have to wear shorts or a skort over the top of these. Students are required to wear the compulsory HBS PE kit for fixtures when they are representing the school. This reflects our high uniform standards.
