Uniform

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.

Main Uniform

Our uniform consists of Sweatshirt/Jumper/Cardigan – Jade with grey skirt or trousers, white or purple polo, black shoes, summer dress lilac stripe or check. A grey Salwar Kameez can also be worn. No jeans or track suits please. All school clothing must be named. Please ensure that children wear sensible black shoes, which are safe to run around the playground in.

P.E Kit

All children must have a PE Kit in school on those days when their class are due to take a P.E. lesson. All classes display the days when they have P.E. The P.E. kit includes plain white T-shirt and dark plain shorts, pumps for indoor or trainers for outdoor. During winter it is a good idea if your child has indoor footwear as well as normal outdoor footwear.

Jewellery

Jewellery such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are not permitted. Jewellery must be removed for P.E. lessons. The school is not responsible for any jewellery lost, stolen or damaged on school property, (this includes watches).

School jade jumpers are available from Andrew Firths. Trousers polo shirts and shoes are widely available from any supermarket. Book Bags are available from the school office and all year 6 children will be provided with their special jumper at the start of the academic year.

Mobile phones

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.
