Uniform
We take pride in each and every one of our pupils at the academy, and know that they are equally proud to be wearing their academy badge on their uniforms.
Our academy is partnered with Gognors Schoolwear & Sports. Here you can purchase the Foundry Uniform.

Pre-loved uniform
We understand that school uniform sometimes needs to be pre-loved. Our Hub therefore offers the opportunity for parents and carers to purchase uniform at a significantly reduced price.
We also humbly ask, if you have uniform you would be happy to donate to our Hub, please consider doing this at the end of your school year.
Jewellery
Jewellery is not permitted, except for children with pierced ears, who may wear studs on those days when they do not have swimming or PE. Earrings must be removed for PE lessons. If a child’s ears have very recently been pierced they may wear their studs provided that they are covered with tape by parents/carers, before they come to the academy. Once the lesson is over they may remove the tape.
A normal watch may be worn once a child is able to use it correctly. This must be removed for PE lessons. Children with long hair should tie it up. This is essential for PE lessons.
Personal Property
Items of personal property should not be brought into the academy unless there is a special reason and authorisation has been given by the class teacher. If older children require mobile phones for safety reasons when making their own way home, they should be handed into the main office on arrival. The academy accepts no liability for the loss of personal possessions. All belongings, including all items of academy uniform should be clearly labelled.
