Uniform

We think it is important that, as an Academy, we set high standards in all that we do. Academies are a place of work for everyone who attends them. As such, we expect children to come to school dressed in an appropriate manner, in the agreed Academy uniform.

All our school uniform can be ordered online through Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd.
