All students attending the New Charter Academy are expected to wear a uniform. Whilst fully appreciating the initial cost of a uniform, we feel the benefits far outweigh the negatives. A uniform provides a smart outfit for five days of the week and helps to ensure that no child need look richer or poorer or different.
The Academy is a non religious organisation and welcomes students from any background. Because of this we require that all students follow the strict dress code..
We except parents to support us in the detail as well as the principle of the school uniform. Do not buy anything that is not on the list or specified. If in doubt about any aspect of the school uniform please contact the Academy before making a purchase.
Parent/Guardians who are on a low income may qualify for a grant click here for details.
