Uniform & Equipment

 

 

 

 

 

Students are ambassadors of the Academy and are expected to dress and behave in a way that reflects the standards we seek to achieve.

The uniform must be smart with all items clearly marked with the student's name. If students are unable to wear the uniform for any reason the Academy must be notified in writing by the Parents.

P.E. Kit

Physical Education is not an optional subject, but an integral part of the curriculum for all year groups. We ask parents to ensure that students are properly equipped for timetabled P.E. lessons.

  • Blue and white Lakelands polo top
  • navy shorts/skort
  • Rugby Shirt - Boys only
  • PE Fleece - girls only
  • Navy Tracksuit bottoms (optional) 
  • Lakelands navy leggings (optional)
  • Baselayers (optional)
  • Navy Football/Hockey Socks
  • Plain White sports ankle socks

Please note that all students must wear full PE kit for all PE lessons. This includes those who are ill, injured or who have forgotten their own kit. This is because these students are still very much a part of the lesson and will be assigned roles appropriate to the participation they are able to have (e.g. coach, official, analyst, observer, assistant). Further, this ensures that school uniform remains dry, warm and clean if the PE lesson is taking place outside in inclement weather.
