Please remember: Academy uniform should not be mixed with non-uniform items. School bags should be an appropriate size and free of graffiti. The sports clothing specified in the uniform list must be worn for PE and games, and for matches with other schools. All uniform must be clearly labelled. The use of laundry markers is proving to be most effective in the re-turn of mislaid items. In travelling to and from the Academy, while at the Academy, and while representing the Academy at functions or matches, students must wear full Academy uniform. Uniform is also normally to be worn during educational visits.
If a student arrives at school with incorrect uniform their College Leader/ member of SLT or the Principal may (a) Send the student home to change, having first contacted the parents, (b) Provide a change of uniform (c) Send the student to the isolation room to work for the day.
The Principal’s decision on acceptable uniform is final.
