General appearance 

Hair

Hair should be a natural colour (one colour only). The Academy reserves the right to decide that the cut and colour of a student’s hair is inappropriate. Tramlines, Mohicans, extreme short sides, longer on top are examples of styles that are deemed inappropriate.

Hair bands should be thin and not overly decorated e.g., no larger flowers.

Religious Head Coverings

Students may wear religious head coverings or garments (e.g. hijabs, turbans, kippahs) as part of their uniform, provided they are plain black and meet health and safety standards.

Jewellery

Students are permitted to wear one stud in each earlobe.  No other jewellery (this includes necklaces, bracelets and/or rings) or visible body piercings are allowed.  Students will not be allowed to cover body piercings with Elastoplast.  Parents must ensure that if a child is to have a piercing it must take place at the start of the six weeks’ holiday and must be removed on the first day of term.

Make-Up

Students in Years 9, 10 and 11 can wear discreet, natural make-up.  The Academy reserves the right to decide whether the amount of make-up a student is applying is inappropriate. Students are not permitted to wear false, gel or acrylic nails and/or garishly coloured nail varnish.  For health and safety reasons nails need to be a sensible length, False eyelashes are not permitted. No fake tan is permitted.

Tattoos

Tattoos which are visible are not permitted.  It is illegal to have a tattoo below the age of 18.

Clothing

Large fashion belts are not acceptable or part of the Academy uniform.

Hoods must not be worn inside the Academy.

Equipment

All students are expected to come to the Academy with:

• a bag large enough to carry an A4 file (backpacks are recommended)

• 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.
