Uniform
We believe that students who take pride in their personal appearance and in membership of our Academy community are also likely to take pride in their achievements and conduct.
We call this philosophy: “Look Smart, Act Smart, Be Smart.”
Uniform can be purchased in person from: Ocean Designs, 10 Watney Street, Watney Market
Please check the information below and make sure you are buying the correct uniform for your child. Uniform items must be plain, without accessories, logos, decoration or any other colours.
