Purchasing uniform

All pupils must dress according to our Uniform Policy, which reflects our values and reinforces our school’s culture of high expectations and academic achievement.

Our school uniform is important to us because it is one way in which we identify ourselves as a school family and it promotes a strong, cohesive school identity which supports high standards and expectations in all areas of school life.

School shoes

It is important from a safety perspective, that children are wearing the correct footwear to school. Trainers are only part of the children’s PE uniform and are not to be worn on non PE days.

Below gives you an indication of what we classify as acceptable and unacceptable footwear.

Lost property

We ask that all clothing is named, including shoes, so that lost items can be returned to their owner. The school cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage of pupils’ property and valuables. All mislaid items are placed in the lost property box located in the school office. Please ask the school office if you wish to look through this box. We endeavour to return all named property, but give unclaimed lost property to a local children’s charity at the end of term.

Purchasing school uniform

Uniform items are readily available from the high street – if parents find any item difficult to obtain, please speak to a member of staff who can direct you to our uniform rail which you can access free of charge. 

Our uniform has been kept simple to avoid unnecessary expense and items with the Academy logo can be purchased using the school's online cashless system and then collected from the Academy Office.

Second-hand items

Any unwanted items of uniform may be given to the school office. We host regular second-hand uniform sales where good quality items can be picked up for low cost.
