If students do not comply with uniform requirements, items will be loaned until the end of the school day. Students who present in items that are deemed to be not part of the uniform code will be sent to
student services. Parent/carers will be contacted to request the correct item to be brought to the academy. Students will be expected to borrow items form student services whilst the situation is resolved in order to minimise missed learning. Failure to comply will result in loss of social time and other sanctions as deemed necessary.
