Academy Uniform

The underlying idea is to provide an appropriate, sensible outfit for Academy uniform. Denim material is not appropriate for Academy uniform. Outside garments are to be in plain navy without logos; hoodies are not acceptable. All items are sold by Initially Yours and All Sports (Yate).

The Academy expects students to conform to the dress rules, both in the interest of maintaining a high Academy standard as well as for reasons of hygiene and safety. Shoes should be low heeled and low soled in plain black; no variation is permitted. Clothing should be in the colours, cut and style detailed in the Academy uniform list. If makeup is wore, it should be discreet. Jewellery is limited to a wrist-watch and a pair of small discreet studs (one in each ear lobe). No other body piercing is permitted. Hair should be clean, tidy and without extremity of cut (neither too short – No.1, nor too long, in the case of boys, not below the shoulder), colour or style. Parental support is expected and essential (see Home/Academy Agreement) and sanctions will be imposed if there is a lack of co-operation.

The Federation policy on dress and appearance makes explicit reference to the Federation and Academy’s position on the wearing of religious clothing, which highlights the need to balance its obligations under Anti-Discrimination Legislation with Health and Safety considerations, security and the need for effective teaching and learning.
