Our uniform is an important part of our Academy’s identity. It reinforces who we are as a community and helps allow students to feel pride in their school. We are really excited to introduce to you our new uniform supplier, Michael Sehgal and Sons Ltd, which supplies a number of schools in the region, delivers high quality products at a reasonable price, and is a local rather than national supplier. They come highly recommended and have a very positive reputation for sound customer relations.

Please be aware that the new items are only compulsory for our incoming YEAR 7 STUDENTS and for all other year groups, we ask that you use this supplier to replenish items as and when this is necessary.

Pupils wearing jewellery may have it confiscated, and it will only be returned at a time agreed by the member of staff or the pupil’s Head of Year/House. The school cannot accept responsibility for items of jewellery which are lost or damaged.

• Make-up – Any make up should be subtle and of natural colours when worn. Excessive make-up should not be worn. Senior staff will determine ‘excessive’. No false eyelashes or nails are to be worn and pupils will be asked to remove these.

• Hair – Hairstyles designed to make fashion statements are not allowed in school, and parents will be contacted. Hair colours must be natural in tone e.g. not blue, green, bright red. Any pupil attending school with such a hairstyle may not be allowed to circulate around the school.

*Pupils not complying with the uniform code and the requirements around presentation and accessories will be challenged. Parents can expect to be contacted and the child may be sent home.

We are very proud of our school and of our pupils and believe that high standards of uniform, behaviour, being properly equipped and attending regularly, give each and every one of our pupils the opportunity to achieve their very best.
