Uniform Requirements
It is important for the academy and pupils that the way pupils present themselves is positive and suitable for a school environment and creates the impressio of a disciplined and well-ordered establishment. It is expected that all pupils will come to school every day in a neat, clean uniform, giving the message that our pupils take pride in belonging to Castleford Academy. The support of parents is essential to this process. Years 7, 8 and 9• Plain white school shirt with pointed collars, top button fastened and long enough to
be tucked in. • Castleford Academy clip on tie.• Castleford Academy blazer.• Plain black tailored trousers or plain black tailored knee length skirt.• Plain black sensible shoes.• Optional plain black V neck long sleeved jumper or cardigan.• Visible socks should be black or white.• Tights should be plain black opaque.Please ensure all items of clothing are marked with your name.Outdoor coats must not be worn in school.Important notes for pupils in all year groups:• Any items described as plain must have no patterns, markings or logos
whatsoever.• Shirts MUST be school shirts, pointed collars not rounded and with the top button
fastened, not blouses or polo shirts. They must be long enough to stay tucked in and the sleeves should not be rolled up.
• Trousers should be tailored or boot cut. Jeans, skinny or tapered trousers, slim fit, narrow, cropped or cut off trousers, shorts, trousers with patch pockets on the outside, visible zips, studs or other decoritive embellishments are not allowed. No combat trousers or harem pants. No leggings or footless tights are allowed. Stretchy material or ‘t-shirt’material is not allowed.
• Skirts should be tailored and of a suitable length and style to be classed as business wear. Stretchy material or ‘t-shirt’ material is not allowed.
• Shoes should be low heeled, suitable for school and plain black. Coloured soles, studs, metallic bows or decorations are not allowed. Trainers or shoes that look like trainers, high fashion shoes, open toe, canvas footwear, Ugg style boots or ankle boots are not allowed.
• Jumpers or cardigans must be V neck, not round neck. See through jumpers, cut off jumpers, loose knit jumpers or fashion jumpers, hooded tops and vest tops over shirts are not allowed.
• Ties must not be defaced with writing or by pulling threads. Pupils will be asked to buy a new tie if they are damaged in this way.
• Any belts must be plain black and worn through belt loops.• Hair colour must be natural in colour, a colour the child could have been born with.
Silver, purple and deep red tones are not a natural colour. Please be aware semi-permanent dyes do not always wash out after a few washed. Any hair ornaments, including bobbles and scrunchies, must be black. Extreme differences in length of hair is not suitable. Overall, hair should be no shorter than a grade 2. A skin fade or bare scalp is not suitable. Pupils with an unsuitable haircut may be placed in Step up, Connect or IE.
• A little discreet make-up which would be deemed suitable for work is allowed. No false eyelashes, heavy black eyeliner, bright lipstick or eyebrow make-up is allowed. Pupils will be asked to remove all excessive make-up.
• Nails must be of a suitable length for a practical working environment.• One small stud earring with a ‘butterfly’ back may be worn in each ear. Multiple studs
and ‘stretchers’ or ‘retainers’ are not allowed. No other piercings are allowed at all, including ‘clear’ piercings. If your child asks for a piercing, please think carefully about the healing times as there will be no exceptions made to the rule. Responsibil-ity badges e.g. School Council may be worn, no other badges are allowed. No visible necklaces are allowed. No bracelets, unless it is a charity bracelet worn while the school is fundraising for a particular charity or a medical bracelet. No rings are al-lowed. A watch may be worn.
• The law says children should not have a tattoo. No visible tattoos are allowed in school, even in hot weather in summer.
The Academy will also not allow any item/fashion that the Governors believe would under-mine the ethos or discipline of the Academy. The final decision on what is allowed rests with the Academy.No pupils will be allowed in lessons with incorrect uniform. Uniform checks occur daily with Form Tutors and members of SLT. Form tutors are encouraged to send pupils with uniform to Step Up if an item of uniform is deemed unsuitable for lessons, pupils are able to borrow uniform. We allow one borrow per half term. Pupils will be asked to work from Step Up if they cannot borrow. If a pupil refuses, further sanctions will apply.
If your child has a temporary medical condition, for example a broken arm, and a risk assessment suggests it is safe for them to be around school, the Headteacher may agree to relax the uniform rules for an agreed amount of time. The academy will give due regard to protected characteristics. Thank you for your support.
