Uniform Expectations
We believe that students should take pride in their personal appearance, and in membership of our Academy community. Please click here to view our Uniform Expectations.
Purpose
- To promote a sense of pride in our school

In addition to the above we consider our uniform to include:

Wear it correctly:
- Top button on shirt is fastened
- Tie all the way up to the top button
- Tie the length of the shirt buttons with the Waterhead logo underneath the knot
- Shirt tucked in
- Pleated skirt – knee length with tights or trousers

School Bags
Academy Planners will be provided to help students organise and record their work but it will also become compulsory for every student to bring a School Bag with them to school every day. This must be at least big enough to hold an A4 file without it being folded. As well as school books, PE kit and Academy planners, students must have at least one pen and pencil with them at all times, as well as a rubber and ruler. Anyone not having these will be expected to purchase them from the Student Services.
