At Alleyne’s Academy we place an emphasis on pride in our community. A visible indication of this is in the standard of students’ uniform. Many visitors have commented on how smart our students are. However, it is important that we maintain these high standards while clarifying uniform requirements.

Our full school uniform policy is available on the Policies page of this website.

Uniform Guidelines
  • Black blazer with the school badge
    No rolled-up sleeves
  • Standard plain black trousers
    No hipsters, jean-style, flared trousers with exposed fashion buttons or zips
  • Alleyne’s Castle Tartan Skirt
    Minimum length is 18 inches. No other type of skirt may be worn
  • White plain school shirt
    Must be plain with no additional styling
  • School clip-on tie
    House colour motif
  • Black plain V-neck jumper or school badged jumper (optional)
    No other style of jumper can be worn (includes hoodies and sweatshirts). Jumpers must be worn under a blazer, not in place of it. If it is too warm for both a jumper and blazer to be worn, the blazer takes precedence.
  • Solid black shoes
    No canvas, pumps, sports trainers, or fabric shoes
  • Plain dark-coloured coat
    No denim or leather
Physical Education Kit
  • Black shorts, black socks, Alleyne’s blue sports top, or plain white polo shirt
    Trainers are also required
  • Recommended for outdoor wear
    Black tracksuit or black leggings, Alleyne’s rugby top, and football boots
Important Notes
  • Students who wear an incorrect skirt (style or length) will be expected to wear trousers as an alternative.
  • Fashion items of clothing are not suitable for school.
  • Denim is not allowed at all.
  • Excessive make-up and fashion jewellery are unsuitable for school and may pose a health and safety risk.
  • Hair must be appropriate for school, and extreme hairstyles (e.g., shaved heads, Mohicans, or brightly coloured dyed hair) are not allowed.
  • Earrings should be unobtrusive studs or sleepers; a single stud or sleeper may be worn in each ear. No hoops or ear expanders are permitted, and no other body or facial piercings are allowed. Students will be required to remove inappropriate piercings and replace with a clear retainer or cover with a plaster while on the school site.

The Headteacher may send a student home after consulting with parents / carers to resolve breaches of the school’s appearance or uniform rules. This will not count as an exclusion but as an authorised absence. However, if the student continues to breach uniform rules in such a way as to avoid school, the absence may be counted as unauthorised.

It is important that all items of clothing and other possessions are clearly marked with the student’s name, either using a name tag or indelible ink. The supplier of the blazer and school skirts is Smart School Uniform.

At Alleyne’s Academy, safeguarding our students is our top priority. In line with section 115 of the Education Act 2002 (and section 157 for academies), and the Children Act 1989, we have robust policies and procedures in place to protect the welfare of every student. Effective child protection requires collaboration across agencies, clear procedures, and staff who are well-trained and confident in responding to safeguarding issues.

Please refer to the Policies section of our website to view our Safeguarding Policy.
