WELCOME TO MAPAC

Mapac - Harpur Hill Uniform

You will need to register with Mapac by entering your email address, password, name and telephone number.

School branded items are available from Mapac. However, you may also wish to purchase unbranded school wear in school colours e.g. burgundy sweatshirt or cardigan.

We have a large amount of good quality, second-hand uniform in school. Please contact the office if you would like to have a look. This is free of charge.

For PE, please note the following health and safety rules:

Long hair should be tied back (plain, narrow headbands and small clips may be used to tie hair back)

Earrings – Plain gold or silver stud earrings are allowed as long as children are able to remove them themselves as required in PE, games or swimming. It helps if children do not wear earrings on the days they have PE. If children have newly pierced ears, they may do PE, but must come to school with earrings taped up. Staff are not permitted to remove earrings or tape up earrings.

Ideally, it is best to wait until the 6 weeks holiday if you are thinking of getting your child’s ears pierced.

Hair Styles, Jewellery etc:

Children should not come to school with extreme hair styles e.g. shaved patterns into the hair, vivid hair dye. Plain coloured headbands are allowed but please do not send your child to school wearing flower/attachments/multi colours/Jo Jo bows

Children should not come to school wearing nail varnish, make up, temporary tattoos or items of jewellery (see above for exceptions).

Please ensure that all garments and shoes have your child’s name clearly marked with a waterproof marker or a label.
