Embedded Files
Students are expected to attend the Academy each day in full correct uniform and with the correct equipment. A smart appearance is an increasingly important aspect of modern life as it does help a person to display an air of self-confidence and a sense of respect. The academy aims to prepare students for a successful life and so an emphasis on taking pride in one’s own appearance is an essential part of the educational process. The academy has a strict uniform policy which helps to enhance the purposeful and successful climate of the academy. Our uniform policy demands professionalism and ensures safety which also ensures that students are fully focused on learning as opposed to other distractions.
The academy Uniform and Equipment Policy also creates a unity of spirit where there is no distinction between students in terms of wealth or background and supports our belief that personal appearance does affect standards of behaviour and therefore academic performance.

Uniform Checks
Uniform Checks
Uniform and (basic) equipment checks will happen during College Community Time (CCT) or Advisory each morning. Subject specific equipment will be checked during lessons (as required). Any infringements on this will lead to the ready card being signed.
Students without the correct uniform or (basic) equipment will be directed to the ‘Ready for School’ room. Here they will be able to correct these issues e.g. by taking a pen / pencil / ruler, or borrowing a blazer, tie, shoes etc (which must be returned). Parents / Carers will be contacted for uniform issues and asked to bring in the correct uniform as soon as possible.
Students receiving a 3rd signature on their ready card in a module for Uniform / Equipment issues will be issued a Daily Detention.
For issues that are unable to be corrected at this point it is likely that the students will be placed in SIS until the issue is resolved.
Students refusing to engage in the ‘Ready for School’ room will be taken to SIS.
The school reserves the right to escalate these sanctions for repeated breaches of this.
Please note that notes for exemptions to the uniform policy will only be valid and agreed by the school upon receipt of appropriate medical evidence.
