Equipment

• a pencil case containing pen, pencil, ruler, and rubber
Tutors and Year Managers will carry out equipment checks regularly Where a student repeatedly fails to bring the correct equipment to the Academy, his/her name will be passed on
to the appropriate Year Manager. From then onwards, the Year Manager will apply a range of sanctions to ensure that the student brings the correct equipment to the Academy. These sanctions might include detentions, parental contact, internal exclusions etc.

Pre-loved uniform
The Academy is working with Uniformd solution which enables parents/carers to purchase gently-used uniforms at a fraction of the price, with funds of sales going directly back into the Academy to purchase essentials such as spare tights. Using this platform means that parents/carers are not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable future, reducing the amount of wearable uniform going to landfill. Further details can be found at Uniformd.
