Our uniform policy
Aims
- Every student will wear the Academy uniform with pride and respect
- Our students will be the leaders of tomorrow and to achieve this they need to fully understand what it means to present themselves professionally.
Overall identity
Every student will wear the uniform perfectly and this smart, professional image will reflect the high aspirations we have for our students and that they have for themselves. The uniform has been designed to represent these high aspirations. It is clearly identifiable with our Academy logo and colours so our students will be visible in our local community and further afield and therefore will be able to represent their Academy with pride.
