Uniform

Any student wearing jewellery other than; one plain pair of small silver or gold studs in earlobes - will be asked to instantly remove it and it may be confiscated until the end of term. No rings, necklaces or bracelets allowed. The only exception to this is where there is a known and accepted religious expectation. 

If you do decide to allow your child to have additional piercings, please ensure that they are removed for school. This will be strictly enforced and students not correctly attired for lessons may be withdrawn from mainstream lessons until the issue has been fully resolved. 

Hairstyles should be appropriate for a professional setting. Unusual styles, colours, shavings or patterns are not permitted. Hair must be of a natural colour. Students may be asked to tie their hair back for health and safety reasons. Those who choose to wear braid extensions must ensure that the braids match their natural hair colour. Coloured braids are not allowed in the Academy.

Make up, if worn by older pupils (Year 10 onwards), should be discreet. False lashes are not acceptable at any time. If pupils wear excessive make-up, they will be requested to remove it.

No nail varnish or false nails at any time. If pupils wear nail varnish or false nails, they will be requested to remove it. 

A simple wristwatch can be worn. However, they must not be smart watches. 

Mobiles / smart phones and electronic devices are not permitted for use within the academy. Pupils must ensure these devices are switched off before entering the school gates. 

If seen during the school day, such items will be confiscated and returned only to parents or carers.

Headphones, earphones or earpods are also prohibited and must not be worn/used anywhere on the Academy site.

Outdoor jackets, jumpers, or cardigans other than school uniform, should not be worn at any time inside the Academy.  

During cold periods pupils may wear a black V-neck knitted jumper underneath their blazer. No black sweaters allowed. Hats and caps need to be removed before entering the building. 

Hoodies are not acceptable and should not be brought into school. 

On dress down days, pupils are expected to dress sensibly and modestly and still observe the dress code in relation to jewellery. If your child has PE on a non-uniform day, they can wear appropriate sportswear.

The following are not allowed on dress down days:

• No pyjamas or onesies
• No offensive slogans on clothing 

All normal school rules apply throughout the dress down day, including bringing a school bag with the necessary equipment. Jewellery must be removed for PE or any subject instructed by staff.

Tattoos are not permitted. It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to have a tattoo, even with parental consent. Any instances of visible tattoos will be referred to the Academy's Safeguarding Team.
