Secondary Uniform

Secondary Uniform

The wearing of Academy uniform is compulsory for all pupils and a high standard of dress is required at all times. We consider that uniform is important because:

  • It provides students with a sense of identity and pride in their academy.
  • It enhances the appearance of students and therefore the reputation of the academy.
  • It helps to instil in students a sense of purpose when they put on their uniform in the mornings.

Please read the uniform requirements below or have a look at the uniform in the Uniform and Equipment Expectations Booklet:
