School Uniform Policy
The Governors of AYA College have decided that there is an expectation that all pupils will wear school uniforms for the following reasons:
- To foster respect and pride in their appearance;
- To help establish a positive attitude to school;
- To differentiate between leisure and school time and associated expectations;
- To help reinforce the sense of belonging and corporate identity;
- To encourage children to recognise what the outside world expects;
- The basic and other acceptable items of school uniform are listed below.
Boys
- Jumper/Sweatshirt in purple
- Grey or dark trousers
- Shirt, Polo or T-shirt (white/purple)
Girls
- Jumper/Sweatshirt or Cardigan in purple
- White/blue blouse, polo shirt or T-shirt
- Grey or dark skirt, or trousers
The following items are NOT considered appropriate school wear:
Jeans, football shirts/shorts, designer shoes or clothing, e.g. crop tops, strapped tops, etc.
Shoes
- Outdoor Black Shoes for both boys and girls
- High heeled shoes, platform-soled shoes, or thigh length boots are not suitable for wearing in school.
- PE Kit and Outdoor Activities (We shall keep a small stock of Book Bags and PE bags in school).
- White ‘T’ shirts are expected for PE together with black shorts or jogging bottoms, lightweight waterproof jacket or tracksuit top for outdoor activities.
- Trainers are required for outdoor exercise. If appropriate, these can be the shoes that the child wears generally for outdoors.
Jewellery
- If possible, pupils should not wear jewellery of any kind for PE, games or swimming.
- Wrist watches are permitted.
- Other forms of jewellery, e.g., necklaces or rings, may constitute a safety hazard and, therefore, will not be permitted.
- Children with pierced ears may wear post and simple stud type earrings only.
- All ear decorations and watches must be removed for Physical Education lessons.
