Dogsthorpe Academy

Uniform

 

As part of the Greenwood Academy Trust ethos there is a high expectation on appearance to develop a sense of pride and respect on the part of all Academies within the group. All pupils are expected to wear the full Academy uniform. The wearing of our distinctive uniform gives pupils a sense of ‘belonging’, helps foster a pride in the Academy and stops pupils coming to the Academy in unsuitable clothes.

Hair

Please note that we do not allow extreme haircuts in the Academy – no visible lines between layers of hair eg “mohawks” or patterns cut into hair.

All long hair needs to be tied back for PE.

Any hair accessories should be in the Academy's colours and appropriate size (no large bows or decorative hairbands). 

Make up and nail polish are not to be worn.

Jewellery

Due to health and safety we do not allow children to wear jewellery except:  

• Ear-ring studs in pierced ears (one pair)

• Small objects of religious significance (such as small crucifix on a chain)

• Simple watch (not Smartwatch)

We ask children to either remove these objects during PE lessons to prevent them from causing potential injury.
