Uniform
We wish that our students look presentable and smart at all times, and as such, students are expected to wear the full school uniform and to be clean and tidy at all times. Garments should be of an appropriate size. Blazers, jumpers, ties and PE kit are available to be purchased from the school. PE fleeces, training trousers and leggings are available through Skoolkit here:

The School Uniform
Our school uniform consists of the following:
-
Plain white shirt (long or short sleeve) and school tie
-
School black V-neck jumper with blue inlay (optional)
-
School black blazer
-
Black trousers – no cord, denim or leggings
-
Grey, black or white socks
-
Plain black entirely leather shoes are to be worn. No boots, dolly shoes, sports trainers or canvas shoes are allowed.
School jumpers do not have to be worn at all times, however blazers must be worn every day. Hoodies are not permitted to be worn at any time.
Uniform can be purchased and collected every morning between 8:30am and 9:00am (term time only) in the Community Office located next to the Sports Hall entrance. This will also include online parent pay orders.
PE Kit
-
Navy blue polo shirt with Academy logo (can be ordered and collected from the school)
-
Students can wear their own plain navy or black shorts, sports leggings, tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirts (no hoodies)
-
Trainers
-
Football boots for all students are compulsory
-
The wearing of personally designed mouthguards is recommended as a valuable means of protection when taking part in rugby or hockey activities. Parents are advised to purchase shin pads for rugby and football for health and safety reasons
Please note that no other items of sportswear may be worn.
Makeup
Year 11 students are permitted to wear discreet make up and clear or natural coloured nail varnish. Students in all other years are not permitted to wear make-up or nail varnish and will be asked to remove it.
Jewellery
In general we believe that the wearing of jewellery is not in keeping with a formal school uniform. Items of jewellery can be a safety hazard and security is difficult in the school environment.
For these reasons students may only wear:
-
A watch
-
A single chain with religious symbol hidden from view
-
Single studs in the ear lobe
Please note that no other jewellery will be allowed.
Outdoor Wear
-
Outdoor coats can be worn on top of the school jumper and blazer but must be removed when in school buildings.
-
Students can keep them in lockers or carry them to lessons.
-
Cycle helmets must be worn if cycling.
Hair
-
Styles should not be extreme in fashion
-
No outrageous or unusual colours are permitted
-
Shaved heads are not acceptable. Students can be sent home if they come to school with a haircut close to their scalp.
