Shoes

Plain black polishable shoes, no more that 1inch heel height. Shoes with distinctive fashion features such as buckles, logos and tags are not permitted as a normal part of the daywear; subtle adornments are acceptable (please click on images below to see a guide to suitable shoes). Trainers or shoes with kitten or stiletto heels, boots and ballet-style shoes are also not allowed.

Jewellery

Students may wear a watch however due to health and safety issues and concerns relating to loss of valuable items, students are not allowed to wear jewellery, including earrings and piercings of any kind, during their time at the Academy. Smart watches and any type of headphones (including Airpods) are also not permitted to be worn in the Academy.

Hairstyles

Hairstyles should be neat in a natural colour. As a general guide, examples of unacceptable hair styles might include hair that is dyed an artificial colour; any two-tone; colouring/bleaching for example the effect resulting in hair being ‘dip dyed’; excessive use of a hair product to encourage hair to stand up; hair that is shaved very short in some places but left longer on the top/in the middle, hair that is combed into any sort of Mohican style, hair that has any sort of pattern or parting shaved into it. Some fashion styles are proving problematic where hair is ‘side parted’ by shaving short on one side and combing longer strands of hair to the other side.  The principal reserves the right to assess whether a style is considered appropriate or not. Parents should consult, in advance, if they are unsure as to the suitability of a change of style. Caps of all kinds must not be worn in and around the academy.

Make-up

Years 7 – 11 may not wear make-up, nail varnish that is not natural in colour or false nails.  If make-up is noticeable then students will be required to remove this using a make-up remover wipe. False eyelashes are also not permitted. If nail varnish is not natural in colour students will be required to remove this using nail varnish remover.
