Academy uniform
We are committed to fostering a culture of high expectation, equity and pride in our academy. We believe that school uniform supports a sense of belonging and a positive learning environment.
Our approach follows Department of Education guidance and is designed to be fair, inclusive and affordable. We respect religious, cultural, medical and disability related needs, and reasonable adjustments will always be considered.
Equally, we value the support of parents and carers in ensuring that pupils arrive appropriately dressed and ready to learn each day.
Our academy uniform consists of:
- All black leather shoes – no boots, trainers, pumps or sandals/flip flops etc.
- Black socks (ankle or knee high) or black opaque tights.
- Black, tailored trousers – must be worn with school shoes as above.
- Black skirt with embroidered crest – skirts must be worn without being rolled so the embroidered crest is visible.
- Black tailored shorts with embroidered crest.
- White school shirt, short or long sleeved, with a tailored collar designed to be worn with a tie.
- Clip on tie – one house tie can be purchased directly from the academy or from the uniform suppliers below.
- Blazer with embroidered crest – sleeves must not be rolled up and blazers must be worn at all times unless otherwise directed. Hooded jumpers are not to be worn under the blazer.
- Outdoor coats may be worn over blazers in cold weather, but must be removed once inside the academy building.
Optional:
- Plain black knitted V-neck cardigan or plain black knitted V-neck pullover.
