At all Gallus Academy, looking smart and wearing the Gallus uniform with pride is instilled in each and every pupil throughout their educational journey. Therefore, we encourage all staff and parents to help the pupils in this endeavour, not only by purchasing the correct uniform items, but also by supporting the School and adhering to the uniform code. A full list of uniform for the different phases of the School can be found below.

The School has a strict Uniform Policy to encourage students to take pride in their appearance and school identity. Upon joining the School, students are required to wear the standard school uniform. Any student arriving at school in non-uniform clothing may expect to be sent home to change.

Pupils need to arrive at School in full uniform including the jacket and hat. These uniform items are required to be worn at School every day for children in all Year groups.

The standard guidelines for the School Uniform are as follows

It is expected that a Gallus Academy student understands the value of property. S/he will treat other people’s property with respect and be responsible for caring for his/her own. Items of great value should be left at home.

All items brought to school must be clearly labelled with the pupil’s name and class(LS).

Shoes should be well polished.

Shirts are ironed and tucked in at all times.

Top button should be secured with the tie sitting neatly on top.

Boys are not permitted to wear earrings.

Girls should wear only one pair of stud earrings, no other jewelry.

Hair should be neat and tidy – it should not be dyed an unnatural colour, nor should the ends be ‘dipped’ or contrasting streaks applied to hair. If your daughter has long hair, it should be tied back for health and safety reasons. Hair ties should be navy or black.

No nail varnish or make-up should be visible.

Please ensure that all items are marked clearly with your child’s name.

Summer uniform is worn from August. An announcement will be made based on weather conditions when we will change to the winter uniform, usually in November.

Please make sure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled on the inside, with your child’s name and year group so that we can return any misplaced items quickly.

Shoes must be formal black leather shoes, without adornment such as bows, or studs. Any laces should also be black. Trainers must only be worn for PE lessons or if there is a medical reason, supported by a doctor’s note, submitted to the class teach- er or tutor.
