School Uniform

View our Uniform Code

There are many good reasons for wearing a uniform; it creates an identity for students, it encourages a feeling of belonging and of having pride in the academy and in appearance, it is also by far the most sensible and smartest way to dress during school time. 

Any departure from the academy’s uniform code will be challenged and may result in the student being isolated within the Academy or sent home to change (with the parent/carer's permission). Repeat/persistent breaches will be viewed as defiance and dealt with at the discretion of the Senior Leadership Team.

The Academy uniform can be purchased from Monkhouse Schoolwear (formally Simmonds Ltd.). The compulsory items (listed below) must be purchased for all students.

Uniform Code

To support affordability for families, we are keeping compulsory branded uniform items to a minimum, allowing families to purchase non-branded items from accessible highstreet retailers and supermarkets. 

Our compulsory items that must be purchased from our school uniform supplier are:

Academy Main Uniform                                                                  Academy PE Uniform
  • Academy Blazer
  • Tie
  • PE Top - Choose either the polo shirt or round-neck t-shirt
  • Track top / 1/4-zip Hoodie 

 

Supporting affordable school uniforms

To help make school uniforms more affordable and promote sustainability, families can purchase good-quality second-hand uniform items through our PTA. For further information, please contact the school office.

We also gratefully welcome donations of pre-loved uniform items that are no longer needed. These donations help us ensure that all pupils have access to the correct school uniform. Please hand any unwanted items to the school office.

If you are experiencing financial difficulties and require support with purchasing school uniform, please contact the school office and ask to speak with the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). All enquiries will be treated sensitively and confidentially.
