Uniform
Please note that our PE kit is available only from Createidentitee.
Standards of uniform and appearance are very important to us at Mark Hall Academy. Students who take pride in their uniform and appearance are also students who take pride in themselves, their school work and their community. Students are expected to wear full academy uniform on the way to and from the Academy
Our uniform is strict, smart and business like.
