At Newton Bridge Academy we value the strength of community and identification. We have a sense of pride in who we are and what we do. For this purpose, we ask that all pupils wear school uniform unless they are in the 6th form where they should wear smart dress (as if they are working in an office or other similar environment).
It is essential that all items of clothing are clearly marked with the pupil’s name.
No jeans or hoodies to be worn to school.
Stud earring are permitted in school but no other jewellery is to be worn.
Newton Bridge Academy uniform is supplied by
Mapac.
UNIFORM
• Black closed shoes or all black / white trainers – no colour designs
• Grey/black school trousers/skirts or shorts.
• Black leggings are acceptable, but a long t-shirt / sweater must be worn to cover the hip area
• Grey/black elasticated cotton jogging trousers or cargo trousers are acceptable
• Newton Bridge polo shirt or plain black / white polo shirt
• Newton Bridge sweatshirt/cardigan or plain black sweatshirt/cardigan can be worn.
• Red gingham dresses can be worn during spring/summer term.
• Newton Bridge fleece (optional).
• Newton Bridge school bags & coats (plain colour) are available with Newton Bridge logo
• Hair colouring – natural hair colours only.
PE
• PE lessons require suitable footwear, preferably trainers for sport.
• Grey/black shorts or tracksuit bottoms.
• Newton Bridge PE t-shirt or plain black/white t-shirt.
• Swimming lessons require a full swimming costume or shorts, and a towel should be sent into school.
POST 16
• Uniform is not compulsory for Post 16 pupils, but we ask that pupils in this phase wear smart / casual clothes. No blue stone-wash denim / ripped jeans or hoodies please.
We have an inclusive approach regarding uniform expectations and understand that some pupils may find some types of clothing and textures uncomfortable due to their sensory needs and / or rigid thought processing differences. The most important thing is for pupils to feel comfortable and ready to learn. If you would like to discuss any individual worries or concerns about uniform, please contact the school.
Parents/carers are asked to consider carefully the fastenings that are on each item of clothing. We want to encourage all pupils to be as independent as possible, and elastic waistbands, slip over sweaters and Velcro fastenings can make life so much easier for everyone!
Donations of pre-loved unform are welcomed into school.
We would like to thank parents/carers for their co-operation in this matter.
