Children can bring their PE kit in a bag which can be kept on their peg in the classroom. 

All clothing should be clearly labelled with your child’s name, as it is difficult to distinguish the ownership of items of clothing which all look the same.

 

Jewellery

On health and safety grounds, we do not allow pupils to wear jewellery in the academy.

The exceptions to this rule are:

• Earring studs in pierced ears; one small, plain stud in each ear, lower ear lobe only – nose, tongue and other facial piercings are NOT allowed. Clear facial piercings are not allowed as an alternative.
• Wristwatch
• Medical identification bracelets may be worn by pupils who have significant medical problems e.g., diabetes or epilepsy.

We ask pupils to remove these objects during PE, for health and safety reasons.

ACET will not expect parents of primary -aged children to purchase any branded items of uniform. Parents will be able to purchase all uniform items from supermarkets or high street stores. To ensure children can be identified whilst on school visits, when on a visit, children will be provided with a neon wristband. 

Second Hand Uniform

The Department of Education has asked that:

“Schools should make sure that arrangements are in place so that second-hand school uniforms are available for all parents.

As a school, we welcome and have some good quality second hand uniform available for any parent who requires it. We store this in our reception area that you can help yourself to. We may have additional second hand stock on site with a variety of sizing.

We ask that you contact either come into the school office, email info@aughtonacademy.org or telephone 0114 2873091, and we will sort this for you in a discrete manner. It is important to note that at times during the year, we do have a limited amount of stock.

At the end of each full term, we will have our stock out for parents/carers to replenish and take a look at.

Other places where second hand uniform for Aughton Academy is available;

• Parents donate uniform to a charity shop on Lodge Lane
• Councilor Pitchley holds a Uniform Bank at ‘The Green Hut’ in Swallownest through the Parish Hall.
