Uniform

The expectation is that students wear their uniform correctly and with pride when travelling to and from the Academy.

On Educational Visits, if non-uniform is permitted, students should wear smart trousers or skirts and appropriate tops, shirts or blouses with no offensive logos. It should be remembered that on such excursions the students are representing the Academy and their appearance should reflect that.

The Academy discourages students from wearing high-value items of clothing/jewellery or bringing expensive technology onto site. Should they choose to do this, they do so at their own risk.
