Uniform
By requiring the students to wear the Academy uniform, it is intended to develop their sense of loyalty to the community of which they are members, and to encourage them to take pride in their appearance.
Students are expected to wear full Academy uniform on the way to and from the Academy. Blazers are to be worn at all times except in lessons when teachers have given permission for them to be removed.
Our school uniform provider is Khalsa Schoolwear.
