Footwear

• We expect pupils to wear sensible plain black footwear. Shoes or trainers should be completely black including the trim around the edge of the soles.
• Pupils are permitted to wear plain black boots.
• The following are NOT acceptable: • Shoes or trainers with flashings • Sandals, open-toed, sling back or backless shoes including Crocs and sliders.

Jewellery

On health and safety grounds, we do not allow pupils to wear jewellery in the academy. The exceptions to this rule are:

• Earring studs in pierced ears; one small, plain stud in each ear, lower ear lobe only – nose, tongue and other facial piercings are NOT allowed. Clear facial piercings are not allowed as an alternative.

• Wristwatch

• Medical identification bracelets may be worn by pupils who have significant medical problems e.g., diabetes or epilepsy. We ask pupils to remove these objects during PE, for health and safety reasons. We also advise parents/carers who wish their children to have piercings to do so at the beginning of the school summer holidays. These piercings must, however, be removed before pupils return to the academy except for the single stud in the lobe.

Notes for Parents

• All items should be plain and unbranded unless specified.
• Polo shirts are only for Key Stage 2 pupils.
• Outdoor PE tops should be warm and suitable for colder weather.

Final decisions about the uniform policy are at the discretion of the Principal.
