Expectations
We encourage our students to take pride in their appearance and expect all of our students to wear full uniform throughout the academy day, including on the way to and from the academy. All students must be wearing their blazers when walking around the academy and during line-ups. Students may ask to remove their blazers in classrooms.
If a student does not have a full uniform with them, a uniform mark is issued and they are sent to their Assistant Head of Key Stage to help rectify the situation. If it can't be corrected that day, they will remain out of circulation until it is rectified. A phone call home will be made by the Behaviour and Inclusion Team to try and resolve the uniform issue with parent/carer support.
You can order your uniform from our supplier, Stevensons. Please note only four items have to be purchased through Stevensons and they are shown with *. All other items can be purchased elsewhere but must meet expectations; if in doubt please ask.

Footwear
Students are expected to be in plain, black leather look, polishable shoes, worn with plain black socks. Below shows examples of the appropriate and inappropriate footwear. Shoes should not have a heel higher than one inch. Shoes should not be canvas, patterned or trainer type. Boots are not permitted.
Hair
Hair colour should be a single, natural hair colour. If a student attends school with unnatural hair colour, parents/carers will be contacted to reach a resolution and the student will remain with the pastoral team until resolved. Hair cuts should not be distracting and will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
Make-up
If a student wears makeup to school this should be minimal and subtle. We will make a judgement on this and will be dealt with on a case by case basis. False eyelashes are not permitted. Should a member of staff ask for makeup/false eyelashes to be removed, they will issue a uniform mark on the behaviour system and students will be given an immediate opportunity to rectify the issue. If makeup/false eyelashes cannot be dealt with immediately the member of staff will send them to their Assistant Head of Key Stage to rectify the issue.
False nails
Students will wear their own natural nails. Clear nail polish may be worn. If a student attends school with false nails or nail enhancements such as gels or acrylics, they will be asked to remove them and a uniform mark will be issued. For the avoidance of doubt, nude nail polish or gels are not classed as a natural colour. Multiple infringements will result in a 30 minute detention. If the issue cannot be resolved, students will remain with the Pastoral Team until the issue can be rectified.
Jewellery
Students can wear one small stud earring per ear and a watch (not a smart watch). If any other jewellery is seen, students will be asked to remove the jewellery and it will be confiscated and handed to Reception to release at the end of the day. Clear plastic retainers are allowed. If the issue cannot be resolved, students will remain with the Pastoral Team until the issue can be rectified.
Coats, hoodies and non-uniform attire
Students are permitted to wear a coat to school. The hood should be down at all times. Students should be wearing the correct uniform as soon as they enter the school gate. Coats should be removed before entering the school building. If a student is seen wearing any non-uniform attire, staff will confiscate the item and will issue a uniform mark on the system. Multiple infringements will result in a 30 minute detention. If the issue cannot be resolved, students will remain with the pastoral team until the issue can be rectified. A phone call will be made home for the parent/carer to pick the item up at the end of the school day. We will only return the item upon collection by the student’s parent/carer.
Mobile phones, speakers, headphones/earphones
Pupils are not permitted to use mobile phones or other electronic devices, for example, MP3 players, game consoles, speakers, headphones and smart watches whilst on the school premises. Pupils will be allowed to have devices turned off in their bags so they are contactable on their journey to and from school. If pupils bring devices into school, they will be required to be switched off and never removed from the pupil’s bag. If electronic devices are seen in a lesson or around the school grounds and corridors they will be confiscated immediately by the member of staff and taken to reception. A 30 minute lunchtime detention will be issued. Parents/carers will be informed that the device has been taken and parents/carers will be required to collect the device.
Only in order to allow time to load digital bus passes, phones may be used in the tennis courts at the end of the day. If a pupil refuses to hand over their device then the pupil is sent to Internal Suspension and remains there until they have handed in their device.
