The wearing of full school uniform is expected as an integral part of the school ethos, promoting positive attitudes, high standards and a sense of personal pride. Our uniform is a gender-neutral uniform and not specific to boys or girls making it more inclusive and in keeping with our ethos.
All students must have their PE kit for every lesson even if excused as they will be required to take part in a non-playing role. If excused, parents/carers should write a note in the student planner.
Students do not need all of the items listed below but as a minimum, they must have an MHS Polo Shirt and an item of clothing for the bottom half (MHS shorts or MHS Skort or MHS leggings or MHS Track Pant) plus MHS Socks
MHS PE Kit is available from Warrens of Chadkirk and Monkhouses.
Footwear, other equipment and Health and Safety in PE:
Regular trainers are sufficient for activities taking place indoors & on tennis/netball courts. Either Football or Rugby boots MUST be worn for health and safety reasons when taking part in activities on the school field.
For activities on the AstroTurf pitch, non-metal studded boots or trainers with a good grip are advised. A gum shield is required for Rugby and Hockey – these can be purchased on School Gateway. Shin pads are required for Hockey and Football.
It is compulsory to have hair tied back and any jewellery removed before leaving the changing rooms. During summer, we recommend pupils wear sunscreen, a hat & bring a water bottle.
School coats are not permitted for PE lessons. Students will be outside during the winter months and should dress accordingly e.g. wearing base layers underneath PE kit or alternatively, a plain black/navy blue sports jacket/coat in which the hood can be removed/tucked into the collar.
We cannot stress enough the importance of ensuring a name is written in EVERY item of PE kit. We cannot do anything about a missing PE kit that has no name in it.
Online payments at Marple Hall are made via the School Gateway Payments system and ties can be purchased using this app. During term time any ties pre-purchased can be collected in school by your son/daughter from the Finance Office, Isherwood Building. In School Holidays please email accounts@marplehall.stockport.sch.uk to arrange collection.
Blazers must be worn at all times within the school building
