See below for deatils. ### Academy Expectations The Academy has extremely high standards and expectations of all those associated with the school. As a member of the school community you are expected to support the students to maintain these. Please do not waste your money on items that do not meet the requirements as students will not be permitted to wear them. Items such as black trainers, pumps, footwear with logos and Converse are not permitted. We are fully aware that retailers deliberately target parents to sell them trainers that have been marketed as shoes, quite simply it must be a black school shoe. In addition to the expectations regarding uniform, we also have extremely high standards for general appearance and equipment.
