Uniform

The Academy uniform is designed to be practical, smart, comfortable, affordable and easily available. Wearing the correct uniform shows commitment and pride in being an Academy pupil and is clearly associated with our high standards, expectations and school ethos.

 All pupils must have:

• Years 8-12 long sleeved blue school blouse/shirt. Short sleeved blue shirt/blouse may be worn in September, May and June;
• Years 13 & 14 long sleeved white school blouse/shirt. Short sleeved white shirt/blouse may be worn in September, May and June;
• School V-neck jumper;
• Plain black leather shoes (boots, ‘sling-backs’, mules, trainers and so on are not permitted). Heel height must not exceed 2.5cm;

Either

• Navy pleated, knee-length skirt (school regulation only and worn correctly; not modified) with navy tights. Navy socks (ankle/trainer/sports socks are not permitted) may be worn in September, May and June;

Or

• Plain black trousers (regular-fit, worn correctly so that the hem sits neatly on the shoe; skinny trousers are not permitted). Trousers should be worn with plain black socks (ankle/trainer/sports socks are not permitted);
• If a scarf is worn, only the school scarf is acceptable;
• Outdoor jacket: navy waterproof jacket with the school crest may be worn over, not instead of, the blazer; no other outdoor garment or ‘fleece’ will be permitted;
• Hair accessories should be in keeping with the school uniform.

PE Uniform

• School crested football shirt, shorts and socks are essential items of PE uniform;
• Trainers, football boots, swimwear and mouth guards to be worn when required.

When purchasing any item of uniform, the school recommends trying it on to make sure that it fits appropriately and conforms to the school’s requirements. Should you have any concerns regarding uniform, please contact Mrs O McVey, Uniform Co-ordinator.
