Uniform Expectations
All students will have to wear their blazers at all times – on corridors, in the dining room, etc. No blazer can be removed in class without a teacher’s permission.
Coats cannot be worn inside the school building and hoodies are not permitted anywhere on school premises (inside or out). We must therefore encourage students to bring a coat to school rather than a hoodie.
Students are expected to wear UNIFORM. A note MUST be brought from home if they need to be excused from wearing an item of uniform. The Headteacher reserves the right to ban any item of clothing or personal appearance which is deemed to bring the school into disrepute or to have an adverse effect on the culture of the Academy.

An example of unacceptable trainer style shoes
Trainer type footwear similar to the Adidas ‘Stan Smith’, Kickers and Vans type trainer and Nike Air Force 1 shown here are not acceptable to be worn as school shoes.
The existing Siddal Moor branded PE kit can continue to be worn in school until the end of the 2020/21 academic year.

Equipment
We would like all students to come to school each day with a school bag and all of the equipment they will need for the school day.
Pen, pencil, ruler and a scientific calculator are compulsory (there are a number of casio models that are acceptable to buy but the most common are the Casio X83 and 85 models).
For Covid reasons, teachers will not be able to lend or share equipment. Students are also able purchase school recommended calculators from the Maths department.
