School Uniform

Uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone. 

Our uniform instils pride; supports positive behaviour and discipline; encourages identity with, and support for, school ethos; ensures pupils of all races and backgrounds feel welcome; protects children from social pressures to dress in a particular way; nurtures cohesion and promotes good relations between different groups of pupils.

The Shoreham Academy student dress code is fair and reasonable and the uniform chosen, after consultation with parents and students, is practical, comfortable, appropriate and affordable. All our students are expected to conform to the dress code. We consider our requirements to be reasonable and therefore we do expect parental support.

If you have difficulty in providing your child with school uniform, clothing grants are available depending upon your income. Applications for assistance may be made through the Academy. Also, if you are unsure of any of our requirements then we ask that you please contact the Academy prior to purchasing that item.

Our requirements are as follows:
