School Uniform Policy

As part of our continuing drive to improve standards and raise the profile of the Academy in the community, I am writing to remind you of the Academy Uniform Policy that has been in place for many years. The majority of pupils do wear the full school uniform. There is however, a significant minority who do not. The reasons that all pupils are asked to wear school uniform is as follows:

•Uniform creates a special identity and belonging to the Academy.
•Uniform is cost effective for parents and carers especially as the children get older and become more fashion conscious.
•Younger children may find it easier to dress in uniform as they get regular practice putting on and taking off the same clothes.
•Uniform helps to combat arguments in the morning about what to wear.
•Uniform stops children from feeling different.
•Uniform helps to maintain behaviour and discipline
