Uniform
By requiring the students to wear the Academy uniform, it is intended to develop their sense of loyalty to the community of which they are members, and to encourage them to take pride in their appearance.
Students are expected to wear full Academy uniform on the way to and from the Academy. Blazers are to be worn at all times except in lessons when teachers have given permission for them to be removed.
Our school uniform provider is Khalsa Schoolwear.
Orders can be placed online via the link above, or in person at their high-street store at Bethnal Green Store, 388 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 0AH.

Second Hand Uniform Provision
Students who leave the academy are encouraged to donate unwanted branded blazers, jumpers, and kilts in good condition to the school to be re-purposed for younger year groups.
Thanks to these kind donations from families, stock levels are dependant on availability, and therefore not all types of garment, or sizes, will be available.
Should you wish to take advantage of this provision, you can do so by visiting reception on a Tuesday & Thursday morning 10:30am-11:30am.
