House Badges (December 2024 onwards)
On Monday 9th December, all pupils received an enamel pin badge featuring their house logo. These badges are a way for us to celebrate each student’s role as a valued member of their house community. They are designed to foster a sense of belonging and pride within the academies, help staff and students easily identify house affiliations, and encourage pupils to represent their house as ambassadors during events and around the school.
This year, house events have been more popular than ever, with record participation in the Olympiad competitions. Pupils and their families have also shown incredible generosity through donations to the harvest foodbank collection, demonstrating their compassion for those in need. We are so proud of our students for going the extra mile to support the vulnerable in our community, for embracing new experiences with curiosity and courage, and for the positive impressions they are creating for their houses and the academies. These achievements deserve to be celebrated.
To reflect the importance of these badges, pupils will be required to wear them on the left lapel of their blazer at all times while at the academies. The badges will be considered part of their essential equipment and uniform. If a pupil is not wearing their badge, they will receive a tick on their negative impressions card. Should a badge be lost, replacements can be purchased for £1 via the student’s ‘Equipment’ account on Arbor, using reference: House Badge and then collected from their Head of House.
Correct Uniform Worn Correctly
When students are in the buildings they are expected to wear full uniform to a high standard of presentation. Students will be challenged by staff in cases where the standard of uniform has fallen below that expected. Our expectations of students as they move around the site during the Academy day include:
- Blazer on
- Blazer sleeves rolled down
- Blouse tucked in
- Skirts not rolled / tucked up
- Coat removed when in building
Prohibited items of clothing
All items listed below are prohibited on the Academy site and will be confiscated or removed if seen:

- Large patterned hair bands
- Nail varnish
- Non-uniform jumpers
- False nails
- Scarves

Only one simple, plain gold or silver ear stud per ear is permitted.
Piercings anywhere other than the ear lobe are not acceptable. Spacers are not permitted.
Hair is to be of natural colour only - not dyed - and simple in style (no braided or shaved styles).
Sanctions linked to incorrect uniform
In rare cases where the presentation of a student’s uniform is not in line with the high standards expected, students will be sent to reflection until correct uniform is worn. Parents will be contacted and students released from reflection if correct uniform is then provided.
With respect to hair styles, colour and false nails, students will remain in reflection until the issue is resolved.
Please note that staff will not make special dispensations for the cases highlighted above and it is the responsibility of the parent/carer and the student to ensure that such situations are avoided.
Parent notes/medical notes for uniform
If a student has a medical reason for the need to wear modified footwear, a medical note supplied by a doctor or medical practitioner must be provided.
It is important that all parents/carers should realise the necessity of marking all garments and possessions clearly with their daughter’s name.
USED UNIFORM
We may be able to provide a small amount of used uniform on a case-by-case basis to parents of students who are eligible for pupil premium.
