UNIFORM POLICY
All students are expected to wear academy uniform in Years 7 to 11, which gives them a recognisable identity
as students of Ashcroft Technology Academy and masks any inequality in the home circumstances. Uniform,
which should be kept clean and smart, adds to students’ self-respect and self-esteem as members of a
community in which they take pride. Students should travel to and from academy in uniform. Blazers must be
worn between lessons but can be removed in the classroom . A detailed list of uniform and rules regarding
dress and appearance can be found below with examples of preferable uniform accessories.
Blazers, ties and sports kit are available from the academy uniform shop. All other items may be purchased
from any clothing supplier.
School uniform should be worn correctly on the way to and from school. Students who wear incorrect
