Upperwood Academy School Uniform 

We believe that the school uniform plays a crucial role in making pupils feel part of Upperwood. Our uniform is practical and helps pupils maintain their pride in the school.
All pupils from Early Years to Year 6 are expected to always wear school uniform.

Boys uniform:
Black/Grey trousers or shorts, white collared shirt (which can take a tie and grey sweatshirt )

Girls uniform:  
Black/Grey trousers or skirt (black or grey tights), white shirt (which can take a tie) and a grey sweatshirt or cardigan. During summer term girls may also wear a blue and white gingham checked dress with white or grey socks.
We do not allow pupils to wear sports style tracksuit bottoms, leggings or cycling shorts as part of the everyday uniform.

Footwear

Shoes should be black and have a secure fastening. Girls are not permitted to wear sandals or heels.

Purchasing Uniform 

All items of our school uniform can be purchased from local chain stores and supermarkets. The only branded item we request pupils to wear is the school tie which can be purchase via Arbor at the school office.
As a school we are committed to reducing waste, to support this message of looking after our environment parents have access to pre-loved uniform that is donated, washed and available from the school office.

Jewellery and Hair 

Jewellery should be kept to a minimum, for safety and security reasons.
Pierced ears should have small studs only. No other piercings are permitted.
Please avoid extreme hairstyles such as dying and shaved patterns. Hair that is shoulder length or longer must be tied back.
Smart watches are not permitted.
Nail varnish and artificial nails are not permitted.

Please ensure that each item brought into school is clearly labelled with your child’s name.

P.E 

PE kit: Black shorts / trousers, white T-shirt with trainers or pumps.

Indoor P.E. is carried out in bare feet for safety reasons, but trainers will be required for activities outside. Also, for winter months, a pair of jogging bottoms, and a jumper will be needed.

Please make sure that all of your child’s clothing is clearly labelled with their full name, as we gets a lot of lost property left around school.
