Our uniform of British elegance and tradition 惠灵顿校服：英伦优雅与传统的完美结合

In the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and his friends in college uniforms have made countless people fall for the charm of formal school wear. In British schools, school uniforms are an integral part of school culture and one of the elements that first come to mind when thinking about British education. Following in the fine tradition of over 160 years of Wellington College UK, pupils at Wellington College International Hangzhou also wear school uniforms of exemplary British style and adhere to the campus dress code. In today’s article, please join us to take a closer look at Wellington’s equally gorgeous school uniforms and dress code.

School uniforms at Wellington are an extensive collection ranging from lovely A-line pinafore dresses to a comfy wool jumper, from sportswear with good elasticity to dignified four-season formalwear, and accessories like Wellington ties, baseball caps and hair ties. The entire ensemble presents Wellington pupils with elegance and youthful perkiness. It is also a demonstration of our century-long inheritance and progressive mindset. It is so nice to see the pupils in uniforms eagerly exploring their school lives with a positive attitude toward learning.  

We incorporate the colours orange, yellow and blue from the exclusive visual identity (Vl) colours of Wellington College (China) into the design. 

School uniforms are compulsory in private schools in the UK, and pupils must follow a strict school dress code. It demonstrates a school's culture and equips pupils with a sense of belonging and the pride of being part of a wider community. Similarly, we expect our pupils to wear school uniforms appropriately, whether for a school day or representing the school at sporting fixtures and other school events, to increase their pride in being a Wellington pupil. 

Furthermore, wearing school uniforms correctly is conducive to improving pupils’ academic performance. In 2016, the International Journal of Educational Management published a study on the correlation between school uniforms and academic performance. It concluded that for countries where pupils wear school uniforms, “students listen significantly better, there are lower noise levels, and lower teaching waiting times with classes starting on time.” Therefore, wearing school uniforms exert a positive influence on increased academic performance.  

In essence, a smart and elegant school uniform helps Wellington pupils to experience beauty from a young age and build their awareness of beauty. It also helps them to improve their speech and action, attitude, personality, confidence and interaction with others. It is our aim to implement aesthetic education and the manifestation of enclothed cognition. 

Wellington‘s school uniforms include spring, summer, autumn and winter collections. There are items for daily use, for example sport, and accessories sufficient for multiple situations in all seasons. They demonstrate the Wellington identity of being inspired, intellectual, independent, individual and inclusive. 

We don’t judge a school uniform simply by its cover, as its fabric, manufacturing and quality are as important as its style and colour. Quality control is maintained throughout the whole process, from selecting fabric to completing the final clothes. The materials must pass the lightfastness, shrinkage and crocking tests to prevent the textile from fading, shrinking or pilling, which means that their quality is not compromised when worn over a long period of time.   

All school uniform products comply with the national standards of GB/T31888-2015 School Uniforms for Primary and Secondary School Students and GB/3701-2015 Safety Technical Specifications for Infants and Children Textile Products, and the accessories products comply with GB/18401-2016 National Textile Products Basic Safety Technical Specification. 

School uniform is a carrier of our youthful memories and a witness to our journey into adulthood. It is also a school’s name card, demonstrating the school’s culture and atmosphere. Scan the QR code below to join us and learn more about our especially eye-catching school uniforms. 

在J.K.罗琳笔下的魔法世界里，哈利·波特和小伙伴们身上的学院派校服让无数人为正装校服的迷人魅力所倾倒。在英式教育里，校服是校园文化的重要组成，也是谈起英式教育的魅力时，常常首先映入家长脑海的要素之一。传承英国惠灵顿公学160余年的优良传统，杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校的学生校服也是标准的英伦范儿，学生也要遵循严格的校服规范。今天，让我们来仔细看看同样大气的惠灵顿校服，了解学校的着装规范吧。  

从俏皮可爱的背心裙到合身亲肤的羊毛线衫，从休闲舒适的运动装到端庄大气的四季正装，再配以专属领带、发圈、棒球帽等服饰搭配，惠灵顿的整套服装优雅内敛又不失学生气质，无不彰显着百年传承和与时俱进的精神，让每一位穿上惠灵顿校服的学子都能展现出风华正茂的精神状态和治学严谨的态度。

在英国，私立学校的学生都要穿校服，需遵循严格的着装规范，这是为了彰显学校的治学理念、培养学生的集体归属感和荣誉感。同样地，在杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校，我们也规定不论是日常上课，还是代表学校参加比赛等活动，学生都要穿校服上学，培养身为惠灵顿人的自豪感。 

另一方面，科学研究发现得体的校服还有助于提升学生的学业表现。2016年，《国际教育管理杂志》曾发表了一篇研究校服与学术表现的文章，指出在要求学生穿校服的多个国家中， “学生听讲更加专注、课堂更加安静、更能准时开课。” 由此可见，穿着校服对学生的学业表现有着正向的积极影响。 

与此同时，落落大方、美观得体的校服培养着学生从小感悟美、建立对美的认知，同时还有助于改善学生的言行、态度、个性、自信，甚至与他人互动的方式。这不仅是对美育理念的贯彻，也是“着装认知”概念的具体体现。 

惠灵顿校服可分为夏装、春秋装、冬装；根据使用场景则分为日常、运动、配件三大系列，能满足一年四季学生在学校多元场景下的穿着需求, 彰显惠灵顿学子积极、慎思、独立、个性、包容的精神特质。 

一件好的校服，是“内外兼修”的。除了款式和颜色等设计元素，材质、工艺和安全的重要性也不容忽视。每一件校服从面料到成衣，都要经过严格的品质检测。校服材质经过光照牢度、缩率测试、耐摩擦测试，确保能有效避免褪色、缩水、起球等问题。所有校服和配件产品均严格遵循国家标准，严格把控产品品质和安全，让孩子把安全穿在身上、更让父母放心。
