Uniform

The academy will not bypass our uniform expectations as a result of receiving notes from parents/carers explaining uniform discrepancies. 

We are very proud of our uniform and believe the uniform should be worn with pride. Pupils are asked to follow the uniform rules closely and present themselves as they would do in the world of work. Academy uniform develops a sense of loyalty to the community which students are members, and we always encourage them to take a pride in their appearance.  Students are expected to wear full academy uniform on the way to and from the academy, and to understand that they represent the academy whilst in uniform.

Physical Education Uniform

Year 7 students arriving in September, will need to buy and wear our new line of Moor End Academy P.E kit (navy). This uniform is now being stocked in Natasha’s Schoolwear. All other year groups will continue to wear our current P.E kit (red / black).

However, please be aware that if any kit is lost during the academic year, or if students grow out of their current kit, the new P.E kit must be purchased. This is because Natasha’s Schoolwear will no longer be stocking the red / black kit, as this will be phased out. This updated P.E uniform is to ensure students are more comfortable during physical activities and to match with the new academy uniform. 

Please see the following table for ‘essential’ kit. This needs to be brought to every P.E lesson. The ‘additional’ kit applies to school fixtures, bad weather and piercings.

All students are expected to participate in PE. Suitable PE kit should be brought to every lesson. PE kit will not be available from school. See the PE staff for details.
