Dear Parent/Carer
Reminder of Uniform Expectations
As we hopefully look forward to moving into a period of warmer and settled weather, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the standards and expectations regarding the uniform at Leigh Academy Halley.
Students must arrive at the Academy in full uniform, and we expect our students to wear their uniforms with pride. The Leigh Academy Halley tie must be worn to an appropriate length, and blazers must be worn at all times; this includes when travelling to and from the Academy and during break times, lunchtimes, and lesson changeovers.
With regard to trousers, students must not wear jeans or jersey-style trousers, leggings, or stretchy, nylon, ribbed, flared, or tight-fitting trousers. Trousers must be tailored school trousers.
Skirts should be no shorter than knee length and must be either pleated or a tailored pencil skirt, not jersey/stretchy/tube skirts.
Students must be wearing plain black school shoes.
In cooler weather, students must wear a plain black coat to the Academy. Hoodies, tracksuit tops, denim jackets, or hats (apart from a woollen-style hat in cold weather) are not allowed to be brought to the Academy. Items that do not meet our uniform code will be confiscated from students.
High expectations for uniform are also expected from students on the way to and on the way home from the Academy. Recently, we have seen a variation in the type of trousers worn to the Academy and would like to remind you that if students fail to adhere to our high standards of uniform, they will not be in mainstream lessons, and you will be contacted by your child’s small school. If there are issues with your child meeting these standards, then please contact your child’s small school immediately, as the Academy can support families in cases of hardship.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully
Ben Russell
Principal
