Uniform
We strongly believe that school uniform gives our pupils a sense of identity and of belonging to the academy. It helps to ensure that no student feels disadvantaged in terms of appearance, removes the need to keep up with constantly changing and expensive fashion trends, and instills a sense of pride.
Please contact the school if you need to order or replace new uniform items.

Frequently Asked Questions
When was the new school uniform introduced?
Our new uniform will be compulsory for all new pupils from 8th September 2014.
Is the uniform washable?
Yes, the uniform is fully machine washable at 40 degrees.
Can the jacket be tumble dried?
Unfortunately the jacket cannot be tumble dried, but once washed it dries very quickly on a hanger.
I have a boy and a girl in school but the jackets are gender specific – is there one jacket that I can buy that I can pass down the family?
At primary age there is little difference in the cut of the boy’s Saville Jacket and the girl’s Colchester jacket. If you want to pass the jacket down through the family we would advise buying the boy’s Saville jacket.
