We believe good standards of dress promote a positive attitude to work and behaviour and identify students to local residents and future employers as members of an efficient organisation. The co-operation of all parents/carers is requested to ensure that students are in correct uniform to and from the academy as well as during normal school hours.
Our uniform is available to purchase from Danielle's shop in Hockley. Online ordering is available through their website: www.daniellesshop.co.uk. Their latest price list is here.
Any parent/carer who has any issues with purchasing any items of uniform should contact the academy as we may be able to support with second-hand items.
Please note that Greensward Academy makes the final decision as to what is or is not acceptable in all aspects of a student’s appearance.

From September we are lucky enough to have a brand new 3G pitch. As a result, students who want to use the Astroturf at break or lunch will need to wear Astroturf boots. These will not be needed for PE lessons - only if your child wishes to play football during their break and lunch time.
Skirts must be worn at knee length and unrolled at all times. Students will immediately unroll their skirt when instructed by a staff member.
Trousers must be worn at waist level; they must not sit lower than the hips. Students are not permitted to wear any garment other than underwear beneath their trousers and they should immediately pull up their trousers when instructed to do so by a staff member.
All uniform infringements will be recorded as a Level 1 negative point on Arbor. The reason will be clearly stated i.e. "Skirt Infringement" or "Trouser Infringement" in the incident summary.
3 Infringements: lunch detention.
6 Infringements: break and lunch detention.
9 Infringements: P6 detention.
12 Infringements: In-school isolation (IZ) for the day. A letter will be sent home to parents/carers regarding the repeated violation.
Continued failure to comply with the skirt policy will result in females being instructed to wear trousers for a period of time. Continued failure to comply with the trouser policy will result in belts being required to be worn with trousers to ensure they stay at waist height.
The wearing of undershorts or tracksuit bottoms under trousers, is strictly prohibited and they will be confiscated.
Jewellery
Students are allowed to wear a watch (no smart watches), one pair of small stud earrings (i.e. one in each ear lobe only) and a medic alert chain if necessary. No other jewellery should be worn. No body piercing is allowed, including tongue, eyebrow and nose and in any part of the ear other than in the lobe.
Hairstyles
Hairstyle is an important aspect of the image central to the individual and the image the individual creates for Greensward Academy. No extreme hairstyles or non natural coloured hair are permitted. Any hair bands, clips, etc should be plain navy, white or black.
Make-up
The rules are very clear. There is to be no make-up worn by any students in Years 7-9 inclusive. Minimal or very discreet make-up is permitted in Years 10 and 11. This, however, does not include the wearing of fake tan, false eyelashes, tinted or coloured eyebrows, false nails or nail varnish.
If any student is deemed to be wearing make-up they will be asked to remove it. Persistent offenders will risk further sanctions.
