At Alleyne’s Academy we place an emphasis on pride in our community. A visible indication of this is in the standard of students’ uniform. Many visitors have commented on how smart our students are. However, it is important that we maintain these high standards while clarifying uniform requirements.
Our full school uniform policy is available on the Policies page of this website.
Students who wear an incorrect skirt (style or length) will be expected to wear trousers as an alternative.
Fashion items of clothing are not suitable for school. Denim is not allowed at all. Excessive make-up and fashion jewelry are unsuitable for school and may pose a health and safety risk. Hair must be appropriate for school, and extreme hairstyles (e.g., shaved heads, Mohicans, or brightly colored dyed hair) are not allowed. Earrings should be unobtrusive studs or sleepers; a single stud or sleeper may be worn in each ear. No hoops or ear expanders are permitted, and no other body or facial piercings are allowed.
No trainers, pumps, or shoes with logos (e.g. Nike, Adidas). No canvas, suede, or mesh materials are allowed.
Trousers with zips, writing, or studs. Tight-fitting trousers (leggings), and skirts that are too short are not allowed.
The Headteacher may send a student home after consulting with parents/carers to resolve breaches of the school’s appearance or uniform rules. This will not count as an exclusion but as an authorised absence. However, if the student continues to breach uniform rules in such a way as to avoid school, the absence may be counted as unauthorised.
It is important that all items of clothing and other possessions are clearly marked with the student’s name, either using a name tag or indelible ink. The suppliers of the blazer and school skirts are:
