FAQs

They can not wear an old blazer or tie with the old logo or a black skirt. They can wear the old PE kit.

No, the new blazers are in fact cheaper than the previous ones.

We recognise that parents may want to make this choice, especially if they are thinking that items they buy for a year 9/10 child now will be passed on in a few years to a younger sibling. That is permissible. However not all items may yet be available in the larger sizes as we have planned for a gradual transition, using up the stocks of old style uniform first.

No, the new uniform is for the new year 7 (September 2025 intake). No-one else has to make any changes.

We have some second hand uniform that we are happy to pass on to parents. However branded items have the old logo. We cannot supply blazers, skirts or ties to the new 7 Year intake (Sept. 2025).

Acceptable Trousers – Black full length tailored straight leg or bootleg trousers. Trousers must be tailored plain black and not skintight, chino/jean style or skinny. Leggings are not part of our uniform and should not be worn.      

Footwear

Students should wear well maintained, clean, plain* black shoes or ankle boots** with a flat heel. 

*There should be no branding or white soles. Note: No shoes that have Nike ticks or symbols should be worn, or any others with names, or logos (even if black) of any sportswear brand.

Footwear material should be leather, suede or synthetic leather, and polishable.

No canvas, trainers, sandals, or plimsolls are permitted.

Footwear may be laced, Velcro, buckle, or slip-on.

We hope that asking all students to wear these ‘standard’ styles will make the process of buying shoes easier for parents and that it will continue to maintain the standard of uniform across the Academy.

General

Either socks or tights to be worn. Socks should be plain black or white (below the knee) and tights should be black or neutral in colour.

Students are expected to wear their hair in a style which is discreet and suitable for the workplace. Hair should be natural colours only; students should not dye their hair in any bright or unnatural colours and anyone who does will be expected to re-dye it to an acceptable colour.

Discreet facial make-up may be worn (no false eyelashes), as well as a watch and no more than one small stud in each ear. Excess items will be requested to be removed and/or confiscated. No nose students or facial piercing are permitted.

Nails may be painted with one colour only and well maintained and no acrylic/false nails.

Uniform must be clean and well kept. If a student arrives without a uniform item, you may be contacted to bring in any missing items. In the event of a recurrence in relation to uniform infringements, your child may be sent home to return fully equipped for the day.
