Uniform is important in developing a sense of school community, an ethos of belonging, and levelling the playing field between students by expecting everyone to adhere to the same standard, regardless of their background. As a school, we pride ourselves on attention to detail in the little things, so that small issues do not develop into larger, more serious problems.
All students must wear their issued lanyards and the card insert. (These will be issued free of charge, but any replacements due to loss or damage must be purchased.)
Very little of our school uniform consists of branded items. Most of the uniform can be purchased off the shelf at any good, generic clothing store. We also maintain a stock of second-hand uniform items in many sizes. Given the current economic climate, if this is something a family needs to utilise, please call the school and speak to Mrs Leadbeater (or e-mail c.leadbeater@thestreetlyacademy.co.uk). We usually charge £1 per item (to cover cleaning costs). Equally, we welcome donations where families wish to put the uniform of a former student, or the outgrown uniform of a current student, to a good cause.
