Northern Education Trust believes that students learn most effectively and achieve their best outcomes when they are comfortable, able to be themselves, and are dressed in such a way that sets an appropriate tone for education.
A consistent academy uniform policy is vital to promote the ethos of the academy and provide a sense of belonging and identity for all students, regardless of their protected characteristics or socio-economic circumstances.
Our uniform policy lays out the measures taken to ensure a consistent, fair and inclusive uniform policy; to implement a uniform that reflects the needs of all students; and a uniform that is affordable and the best value for money for the academy and students’ parents/carers.
Students must wear full academy uniform at all times when they are within the academy or on an academy visit, unless otherwise stated.
A copy of our academy uniform policy and uniform checklist including PE kit requirements can be found in the links below.
As part of the school Health & Safety Policy children are only allowed to wear a watch.
Other jewellery such as bracelets, earrings and necklaces are not permitted. If you are thinking of getting your child’s ears pierced, please wait until the start of the 6 weeks holidays so your child’s earrings can be removed in September. The school is not responsible for any jewellery lost, stolen or damaged on school property, this includes watches.
Children are NOT permitted to wear make-up to school, this includes the wearing of nail varnish and transfers / temporary tattoos.
Mobile phones/ smartwatches and other electronic technology must be switched off at the academy gate, kept out of view and remain switched off until students exit the academy gate at the end of the day. If a child is seen with any of the items above in the academy, they will be confiscated, placed in the safe, and will only be returned to a parent/carer.
