Uniform
Our pupils wear our uniform proudly as a sign of belonging to the Academy.
We are thankful for the support of parents and carers in ensuring pupils come to school in the correct uniform.
How to buy
The academy blazer, tie and PE kit can be ordered via the Arbor Parent App and collected from the academy. We are the only authorised supplier of our school uniform.

Uniform Rules
No hoodies, hats, caps or outerwear are allowed to be worn in the Academy buildings. We suggest these are kept in the bag to avoid any issues.
Jewellery, body piercings and make-up are not a part of the Academy uniform. This includes nails, which must be natural and of an acceptable length due to health and safety requirements.
Trainers of any sort, including converse, are not permitted in the Academy except for PE sessions. Footwear that is branded with a sports logo or name is also not permitted. All shoes must be black leather/faux leather.
Pupils are not permitted to attend the Academy with any form of pattern shaved into their heads or eyebrows. Mohican style haircuts and unnatural colouring to hair are also not accepted.
Uniform Exchange
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and assisting parents and carers with uniform expenses, the academy offers a uniform exchange program accessible to all pupils. We maintain a selection of pre-owned academy blazers and unbranded items for pupils to choose from.
Pupils should speak to Mr Cooper if they need to access the uniform exchange.
If you have any questions please contact your child’s Year Team and remember information about uniform can be found in the pupil planners.
