As part of the academy family, we ask that all children follow the prescribed dress code. The uniform ensures consistency amongst pupils and sets a leading example for all involved.

Uniform can be purchased from the Smart School Uniform shop in Newcastle.

Uniform compliance

A smart uniforms improves discipline, self-esteem and self-respect. Uniform focuses attention upon learning and away from distractions.

So that all pupils have a sense of pride in their appearance, we ask that the uniform is worn appropriately and in its entirety as described above.

Pupils not adhering to the uniform code will be supported in ensuring they do not face discrimination because of this. Pupils arriving in trainers will be given black pumps or shoes  to wear (depending on size) until the end of the academy day. Pupils without ties will be given a replacement for the day. Parents will be informed that this has taken place so they can assist with ensuring the correct uniform is worn in future.

On occasions, where medical conditions are evidenced to the academy, there can and will be reasonable adjustments made.

Please contact the Principal, Mrs Niemczyk, if you have questions regarding the academy uniform.
