Academy Uniform

At Cliff Park Ormiston Academy has a highly aspirational ethos. As a result, we like our students to be smartly dressed at all times. It is the responsibility of all members of the Academy community, staff, students and parents/carers to work together to ensure the policy is adhered to.

Lost Property 

With a large number of students in the academy a vast amount of lost property is generated. All items should be clearly marked with a permanent marker or name label. Please do not bring in valuable items or large sums of money. 

The academy cannot accept responsibility for the safe keeping of jewellery or any confiscated item which is not permitted as part of our policies. As a result, any items which are brought into the academy are at your own risk. This includes mobile phones and headphones etc.

Overall identity 
The Academy uniform has been designed to reflect the high aspiration we have for our students. It is clearly identifiable within the local community and beyond; students should wear it in an exemplary manner, looking smart and sharp at all times including whilst travelling to and from the Academy to represent us with pride. 

Our uniform policy requires the support of parents. The ‘contract’ between the Academy and parents makes it clear that parents are obliged to provide the required uniform as set out above. Parents are also responsible for supporting the Academy in enforcing the correct uniform and standards.

In accordance with the academy everyday expectation of ‘smart and sharp’, all students will be expected to wear correct full academy uniform at all times.
