Uniform
Fulwood Academy promotes excellence in everything its pupils undertake. The uniform and appearance of our pupils will support the ethos of our school; providing the pupils with pride to be part of the school and enabling them to act as ambassadors for the school.
High standards of presentation are required at all times when wearing the school uniform. Whenever the school uniform is worn, it must be complete and not mixed with non-uniform clothing. This includes when travelling to and from school.
The items listed below are compulsory for all pupils (unless otherwise indicated). Our approved uniform retailers are detailed below. Other items can be bought at a variety of retailers.

Breaches of uniform code
Uniforms will be checked on a daily basis to ensure they conform to our policy and that pupils look smart and well presented. In the event that a pupil has the wrong uniform, the teacher or member of staff will challenge the pupil and instruct them to address the issue.
For significant and repeated breaches of the uniform code, the matter will be referred to the Head of Year and a parental meeting will be arranged to address the concern.
If a prohibited or offensive item (such as an offensive image or slogan on stationery) is brought into school, the item will be confiscated.
