Academy uniform
The academy uniform is formal and is clearly defined and we expect all students to wear it correctly with pride. It is expected that all students will wear the uniform unless there is a valid medical or cultural reason why a student cannot wear a particular item or why they have to wear an additional garment. Any student refusing to wear the correct uniform will be withdrawn from lessons until the matter is rectified.

Equipment
• A suitable school bag, large enough to carry all necessary equipment

• A scientific calculator.
• We recommend students have the following: two pens, two pencils, a ruler. Highlighters and coloured pens/pencils, etc can also be very useful in lessons but are not essential.
