Uniform
St Buryan Academy School Uniform
Our uniform promotes equality for all our pupils and ensures that fashion is not a distraction. Uniform Policies have been proven to promote team-building and increase positive attitudes to learning and achievement. As a school we strongly believe in traditional values, good manners and a willingness to learn and try new things.
On given PE days children should wear their PE kits to school to help cut down on changing times, meaning that children have longer, high quality lesson time. Their PE kit should consist of: a t-shirt of their house colour, black or navy shorts and suitable trainers or footwear. Children may wear jogging bottoms/leggings but please ensure that these are either navy blue or black and that they are fitting with the school uniform.

We believe high standards of uniform contribute to the ethos of the academy. We take great pride in the appearance of our learners and expect parents and standards to fully comply with the academy's uniform expectations.
Hair should not have patterns, shapes or be dyed with bright colours. If in doubt, check with the Head of School before having a cut-treatment.
Any hairstyle or dress which, in the view of the Head of School or his authorised representative, may cause excessive comment or distress, will not be allowed, to help prevent bullying and support community cohesion. It is the judgement call of the headteacher if a haircut is deemed unsuitable.
Parents should be aware that, in signing the academy's 'Working in Partnership' (Home School Agreement) they are agreeing to comply with the above expectations.
