Uniform and Equipment

Please make sure that all belongings are clearly labelled.

Crawshaw Academy believes that our uniform plays an important part in supporting the ethos of the academy and reflects the standard of appearance that we expect by:

• Promoting a communal identity unique to the academy
• Reflecting high standards of appearance thus creating a sense of pride in the academy community
• Protecting students from social pressure to dress in a particular way

Crawshaw school blazer	Purchased from Whittakers. This should be worn at all times, unless permission is given within the classroom by individual teachers.
Plain white school shirt	Needs to fasten to the neck and can be worn with the school tie. It must be long enough to be tucked into either school trousers or skirt.

Crawshaw black skirt OR trousers	Plain black charleston style skirt of a length of no more than 2 inches above the knee OR black tailored trousers. Trousers must NOT be of canvas or denim type material/style. Leggings can not be worn.Trousers that are tight around the ankle will not be allowed
Shoes	Flat, all-black leather or leather look shoes only. NO SUEDE. The definition of shoes does not include trainers, or any trainer type shoe or canvas shoes. We will not allow trainers. Any item of footwear that covers the ankle is defined by the school as a boot and is therefore unacceptable. Please note: footwear should not have sport logos such as Nike or Adidas etc. Converse are not allowed however we will allow leather Vans with the logo removed.

PE KIT:

• Quarter zip outdoor top
• PLAIN White Polo Shirt
• Black Shorts

• Shin pads (recommended for football/hockey)

COACHING KIT
Students who are excused are required to bring a note. Students excused are still part of the learning process and are involved in a non-active role. They must therefore still get changed but can also wear black leggings or tracksuit bottoms.

Please contact school if any adjustments need to be made for religious reasons to enable this to be discussed.
