We have worked with some of the students to produce a stylish, modern and professional uniform which the academy and community can be proud of - we hope you like it. Moreover, we have carefully chosen uniform items that are readily available, at a reasonable price, from several high street stores.
The following uniform items will only be available to order from School Colours Direct:
- Blazer

Ties can be purchased from the Academy and also may be ordered from School Colours Direct
