We are all proud of our Academy and student uniform plays a key part in this. If students maintain high personal standards with their uniform, it gives them a sense of belonging to the Academy and helps with personal discipline. All students in Years 7-11 must wear correct Academy uniform which is defined as:

Blazer: Plain navy with the Academy logo.

Jumper: Plain navy V neck with the Academy logo.

Shirt: Plain white to be worn tucked in. Both short and long sleeve shirts are permitted.

Tie: Knotted closely to the shirt collar, covering the top button and worn at reasonable length. Each House has its own colour tie.

Shoes: Plain black, smart, leather or leather-look. Black trainers or ‘Converse’ style are not permitted. Heels should be no higher than 4cm. Plain black ankle boots are now permitted.

Belt: Only plain, black belts are accepted.

Socks/Tights: Trousers: dark socks. Kilts: black or white ankle socks. Black tights of minimum 40 denier.

Outerwear: Dark coloured coats and scarves may be worn during cold weather but must be removed upon entering the Academy buildings. Hoodies must not be worn under blazers.

Jewellery: Students are only allowed a watch and small earrings. These must be either small stud earrings or very small hoops. Facial and body piercings are not allowed, this includes tongue piercings and clear plastic facial jewellery.

Parents who qualify may request free uniform twice in the student’s Academy career.
