Uniform
The Directors of Wearmouth Learning Trust and the Local Governing Body of Monkwearmouth Academy have now made the decision to change the uniform whilst ensuring that it is smart, reasonably priced, accessible and supports our reputation in the local community.
As part of the review of uniform the Trust have decided to change to a grey blazer which will have the academy badge embroidered into it, move to a white shirt and a newly designed school tie, an optional black jumper with the school badge embroidered on it and black trousers. There will also be the option of a school skirt for girls, however, this will be a specific skirt again with the school badge embroidered on it and therefore will be optional.
In summary the uniform will comprise of:
• Grey blazer with the school badge embroidered on the blazer
• White school shirt (no requirement to buy from the Academy)
• School Tie
• Optional black jumper with the school badge embroidered on the jumper (students may continue to wear their existing jumpers until a new one is required)
• Appropriate black school trousers (no requirement to buy from the Academy), please note jeans, leggings, skinny trousers and tracksuit bottoms will not be permitted
• Black school skirt with the school badge embroidered on it (optional for girls)
• Black, leather-like hard soled shoes (trainers with any coloured logo or stripe, boots, ballet shoes, plimsolls or canvas shoes are not permitted)
• Plain black or grey socks or plain black or grey tights if a skirt is worn.
