Uniform
All students at Laureate Academy must wear the Academy uniform. This reflects our values as a school and reinforces the school’s culture of high expectations. Our uniform helps to promote a strong and cohesive school identity which helps us to support high standards in all areas of school life.
The Laureate Academy uniform must be smartly worn at all times by students throughout the school day and on the way to and from the Academy. For further information, please review our Uniform Policy. Students arriving on-site without the correct uniform will be loaned uniform for the day. More details can be found in our Behaviour Policy.
In-Year Starters/Replacement Uniform:
Ties and Backpacks can be purchased through the School Shop via ParentPay. These are also available, along with the rest of the Academy uniform, from Smarty Schoolwear. The necessary branded items are as follows:
- Academy Bag
- Academy Blazer
- Academy Tie
Please see the following regarding price changes as of April 2025: Uniform Prices.
All other items can be purchased from a wide range of retailers. If you have any questions about uniform, please do contact your child’s Head of Year. Reasonable adjustments will be made for students with religious needs or disabilities.
PE Kit:
Compulsory items:
- White polo shirt with or without the Future Academies logo (plain T-shirts are not permitted).
- Plain black PE shorts, leggings, or tracksuit bottoms with no logos or patterns. Shorts must not be tightly fitted. If you have purchased the navy-blue branded shorts, these are perfectly acceptable. However, we are aiming to phase these out over the course of the academic year, in line with government guidance to reduce the number of non-branded school uniform items.
- A change of socks or navy school socks.
- Trainers (not Converse or trainers with spikes).
Optional:
- Plain grey PE sweatshirt with no branding or writing.
- Plain leggings/tracksuit bottoms only – if these have any logos, stripes, or pictures, they cannot be worn in lessons.
