GENERAL information 

In cases where any disagreements over uniform arise, the Headteacher’s word is final.

  1. Academy uniform is compulsory and must be worn at all times in the academy and on the way to and from the academy; when representing the academy and at any other time specified by the academy. Any temporary deviation from academy uniform must be explained by a dated note from parents/carers in the student's planner.
  2. Students should wear full PE Kit to school on the days they have PE.
  3. All uniform and property brought to the academy must be clearly marked with the owner’s name. The academy cannot be held responsible for the loss of any private property.
  4. Jewellery, except watches, may not be worn. Students with pierced ears may wear one pair of small studs (no more than 3mm diameter). No other piercings are allowed. Unobtrusive crosses and medals may be worn, as interpreted by the academy.
