FURTHER INFORMATION

All scholars will require an appropriate school bag containing; a pencil case, reading book and a homework planner.

At times of extreme heat, scholars will be informed by the Principal when ties and blazers may be taken off in the Academy. However, they must normally be worn on journeys to and from the academy and on any academy trips.

Scholars may wear a watch but no other jewellery is permitted due to health and safety issues and liability in case of loss. Therefore, if scholars wish to have any part of their body pierced they must arrange this at the beginning of the summer holidays so that the wound has sufficient time to heal.  Plasters may not be worn to cover body jewellery. If scholars disregard this, they will be isolated from other scholars until they comply with the regulation. (Religious necklaces and jewellery may be worn under clothing.)

Baseball caps are not permitted in any circumstances, including journeys to and from the Academy.

Hairstyles should not be extreme.  Parents should consult, in advance, with the achievement lead, if they are unsure as to the suitability of a change of style.  The Academy shall be the arbiter of the term 'extreme'.

For health and safety reasons, make-up and nail polish are not permitted. In exceptional circumstances light foundation will be permitted to disguise skin complaints. The Academy shall be the arbiter of the term 'exceptional circumstances'.

False nails are not permitted.

In cases of financial hardship, parents can appeal to the principal/governors for financial support.  Such cases will be treated with due sensitivity and in confidence.

Parents can apply in writing to the school governing body if they wish their child(ren) to wear different items for religious, cultural or health reasons.

Lockers will be provided for scholars to store coats during the school Day.
