Students represent the Academy, and we ask all parents and carers to support our high standards of uniform and appearance. If a uniform item is lost or no longer fits, it should be replaced as soon as possible. In the meantime, students may borrow an item from the school uniform store. Sanctions may be issued for any breaches of the uniform policy.

- A suitable bag or backpack, preferably plain.
- An Academy diary (which parents should check and sign weekly). Your child will be given this when they start.
- Black pens, pencils, coloured pencils, a ruler, books, a scientific calculator and a P.E. kit. Your child should also have a reading book with them each day.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Q: How do I know which size to order?
A: In the online shop, all items will either show a ‘to-fit’ size, or you can click on the ‘Size Guide’ and find out what the recommended ‘to-fit’ size for that item is. ‘To-fit’ will be measured in inches and either be a chest or waist measurement, dependent on the garment.
Please try on your new garments as soon as you get home in case they do not fit (see below).
Q: What if I order the wrong size?
A: You will need to email Stitch Design at online@stitchdesign.co.uk, giving them your order reference. State which item(s) need to be exchanged and for which size(s). As long as you do this by the Sunday cut-off, your new items will be available to collect on Wednesday. Please bag up the items you are returning and bring them along, with your ORIGINAL order confirmation, to exchange.
Q: What if I do not have online access or a card to make a payment with?
A: Please speak to a member of staff at the Academy.
Q: I am unable to get to the school to collect my order. What should I do?
A: During term-time, orders for collection will be held at reception for collection at any time. During the holidays they will be kept at the Uniform Shop until collected, or you can pay a postage charge and select a Home Delivery during the ordering process. If you choose this option, you should allow an additional week for delivery.
