LEARN ABOUT OUR
Uniform
We believe that our school uniform creates a strong sense of identity and belonging for all students. It ensures that no one feels disadvantaged by their appearance, removes the pressure to keep up with changing fashion trends, and instills a sense of pride in being part of the academy. Please contact your child’s form tutor to discuss any problems which you may have. If students come to school without the correct uniform, the school will provide temporary uniform and contact parents if necessary so that students remain in classes as much as possible. Temporary uniform can include plimsolls, ties and PE kit.
Personal Appearance
Jewellery – one watch and one small discreet ring. No sovereign rings, bracelets or necklaces
Earrings – only one pair of studs, sleepers or small earrings are allowed in the earlobe – one earring per ear
Piercings – the school does not allow any facial or tongue piercings; this includes nose-studs
Make-up – discreet make- up is permitted in school and discretion is left with the Head of Year and Senior Leadership Team
Hairstyles – patterned or brightly coloured hair is not permitted in school. Hair should be of natural appearance in colour, with no tramlines or extreme hairstyles
