UNIFORM AND CLOTHING
We ask for all children to wear uniform. The uniform helps children to develop a sense of belonging to the Academy.
The uniform consists of a red, white or black polo shirt, red sweatshirt, red cardigan, red fleece, red or black hoodie. These are available to purchase from the Academy with an embroidered Academy logo. However plain tops, without the logo, can be worn if parents prefer and these can be purchased from many local supermarkets. Items of uniform are on display in the entrance hall. Order forms are available from the Main Office. Any suitable dark trousers, skirt or leggings can be worn along with sensible shoes.
We do ask that children come to the Academy suitably and comfortably dressed. Jewellery is not appropriate for many of the activities children will undertake. Rings, necklaces and earrings, have proven dangerous in Academy situations and are best left at home. Jewellery is not allowed to be worn during PE lessons, this includes earrings.
For PE, children will need shorts/leggings/ tracksuit bottoms, a t-shirt, a warm top and a change of footwear, including socks and trainers – most indoor work will be done in bare feet in our Main Hall. These should be kept in the Academy during term time and taken home at weekends and holidays for washing. PE kits should be kept in a PE bag and hung on your child’s peg.
Very loose fitting clothing can be dangerous in PE although the Academy accepts that head-scarves may have to be worn by older children for religious reasons.
We wish to avoid distress which occurs when items of clothing are lost. We would be grateful if you would make sure that all items of clothing are clearly marked with your child’s name.
Mobile phones should not be brought into the Academy unless under exceptional circumstances which must be discussed with the Headteacher. All mobile phones that are brought into the Academy will be locked away in the Main Office.
