School Uniform

Every student is expected to wear a compulsory uniform as shown below. We want students to take pride in the academy uniform, and expect them in full uniform, looking smart, every day. The academy uniform can be purchased from our uniform partner website here.

Full sports kit should be brought into the academy in an appropriate bag on the days it is needed.

Any student who arrives without a full uniform will be placed in our reflection room until this is rectified, for example, by parents bringing the missing item into the academy.

For any family who requires financial assistance, please contact the school office in confidence, where we will try our best to support.

We can offer second-hand items at a reduced cost, subject to availability.
