Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community

Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community

Uniform

Students are expected to represent the Immingham Academy while dressed in the uniform both at school and in the wider community.  We believe it promotes a sense of pride and belonging.

The overall impression should be that of a well-groomed individual who takes pride in their appearance.

All students are to wear the uniform throughout the day from when they leave home to when they return home.  Students will also normally be expected to wear the uniform while on any day trips unless indicated otherwise by the Principal.

Uniform is not a fashion item.  It is designed to be both formal and comfortable.  It is the parent/carers responsibility to ensure that items purchased are suitable for school and conform to the uniform policy.  Any concerns should be relayed to the Academy.

The Principal has the discretion to relax the uniform policy at times of extreme weather and this decision will be communicated to students as they arrive at the Academy.  Students should assume that, unless directed otherwise they will wear the usual uniform each day in line with the Uniform Policy.

Students are allowed to wear the blue Academy jumper under their blazer if they want to keep warm. They can also wear thermal clothing underneath their shirt/trousers but these need to be skin style and no hooded tops are permitted.

When students have PE they need to arrive wearing full kit please.

Shoes

Students are not permitted to wear trainers, boots or open-toe footwear. Shoes should be of a sensible design and height covering the entire foot. At lunchtime students may wear trainers when taking part in sports, however, these should not be worn inside the main academy building.

Hair

Hair should be well-groomed and hair styles should be conventional and of a natural colour. A cut shorter than a grade 2 is unlikely to be acceptable. If you child has long hair they will be expected to tie it back for practical science/technology lessons for safety reasons. We can provide these but you may prefer to provide your child with one.
