Uniform
Please note: The Uniform Shop will be closed between 9th and 13th October.
For uniform enquiries, please contact Mrs N Strong via our contact form.
At Fareham Academy, we expect our students to present themselves in a smart and tidy manner at all times. It is important that students wear the full school uniform and ensure garments are clean, well-maintained, and appropriately sized.
Purchasing Uniform
Blazers, jumpers, ties, and PE kits can be purchased directly from the school. Any other non-branded items such as shirts, black trousers, socks and shoes can be purchased from any retailer. Additional PE items, such as fleeces, training trousers, and leggings, are available through Skoolkit. You can access the Skoolkit shop here.
Uniform purchases and collections can be made at the Community Office (next to the Sports Hall entrance) during term time between 8:15am and 9:00am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This service includes collections for online ParentPay orders.
We also have a small stock of second hand uniform at minimal cost, that parents can look through.
