School Uniform

All students are expected to attend school wearing full school uniform. We believe that wearing uniform is an important part of belonging to and identifying with our school community.

The Nightingale Community Academy uniform consists of:

• Nightingale Community Academy sweater
• Plain white shirt / polo shirt
• Plain black trousers (not jeans)
• Black shoes without large logos

On entry to Nightingale Community Academy, all students will be provided with one Nightingale Community Academy sweater. All other non-branded items must be provided by parents/carers and are widely available from high street retailers. We do not require a particular style for these items.

Seasonal Adjustments

There are no formal seasonal variations to the school uniform. However, during periods of hot weather, students may wear:

• A plain white short-sleeved shirt (ideally worn with the school tie)
• Plain black tailored shorts
• Black shoes without large logos

All other expectations regarding appearance remain in place.

Additional branded items are available to purchase from the school office.

Second-Hand Uniform

We keep a small supply of second-hand uniform in school. Please contact the school office if you require additional items.

Jewellery and Accessories

Students should not wear jewellery. A single small stud earring is permitted.

Hats, bandanas, combs worn in hair and similar items are not allowed and must be handed in on arrival to school. Outdoor jackets, gloves, scarves and hooded tops may be brought to school but should be left in classrooms and not worn around the school building.
