Uniform is now available from School Uniform Direct.
The uniform has been designed to reflect the high standards expected at the Academy, and is to be worn professionally and with pride at all times. We feel it is important that students learn to dress smartly and appropriately.
The wearing of uniform is strictly enforced, and parents should support us in helping create a positive and professional image and reputation for the Academy.
All our students – apart from Sixth Form, who are still expected to dress professionally – will adhere to the regulations regarding uniform outlined:
