All Saints Church of England Academy

Uniform

At All Saints Academy, our uniform helps create a shared identity and sense of belonging within our community, ensuring that every student feels included and equal. We expect students to wear the correct uniform every day as part of our high standards, and we ask all pupils to adhere to these expectations to promote consistency, pride, and readiness for learning.

Below are the uniform policy and expectations of our students. We have adapted the number of compulsory All Saints Academy branded uniform items to reduce costs for parents and carers.
