Uniform
At Eastfield Academy, all pupils wear our school uniform with pride.
Wearing our school uniform and having the correct PE kit in school are both included in our 6 Golden Expectations.
Our uniform is detailed below and all items can be purchased from www.yourschooluniform.com
Our dress code provides a smart, safe and healthy appearance, particularly for PE.
You will be informed by the class teacher when your child is to have PE or swimming. Even in bad weather, children will still have PE lessons. Please make sure that the right kit and footwear are sent to school on those days. If pupils arrive without their kit it undermines their legal entitlement to the full National Curriculum and causes major disruption for all boys and girls awaiting their lessons.
It is our school policy that all children wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school organised event outside normal school hours unless you are informed otherwise.

Jewellery
For safety reasons, only stud earrings are allowed and then only in the ears.
Necklaces, bracelets etc should not be worn to school.
Inexpensive watches may be worn, but these should not include smart watches,alarms or games. It will be the children’s responsibility to look after these articles.
The children are encouraged to wear school uniform as it promotes a feeling of identity and pride in the school.

All Trust academies have a uniform which is accessible to all pupils and their families, which represents value for money.
