Children within our academy are required to wear full academy uniform. Our official uniform supplier is:

Longton Protective Clothing: Sutherland Road, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, ST3 1HZ.

Website: www.lpclothing.co.uk.

The main purpose of ensuring that all of our pupils wear an academy uniform is to develop a sense of pride and a sense of belonging to our school community. At Eaton Park Academy, we have a close-knit school family, and each individual is proud to belong to it. Wearing our uniform promotes a sense of identify, and ensures a smart cohesive look.

We have high expectations across the academy regarding presentation and academy uniform, and we immediately address issues where standards in presentation and uniform fall short of the expectations.

Hair

During term time, pupils should not attend the academy with fashion hairstyles, which include:

Very long hair should be tied back and hair should be kept out of children’s eyes at all times. Hair accessories should be minimal and should reflect academy colours. Hair pieces and large accessories including bows should not be worn.

Jewellery

The wearing of jewellery, with the exception of one pair of plain ear studs and a watch, is not allowed for health and safety and administrative reasons. All jewellery must be removed for PE and swimming lessons. We urge you not to allow your child to have their ear(s) pierced during term time.

Any form of jewellery presents health and safety risks, including: rings, badges, and bracelets – and therefore, should not be worn.

The wearing of religious items or symbols is permitted, but must still be removed for PE and swimming lessons.

Pupils are not allowed to wear makeup and false nails in the academy. Any nail paint should be a light colour or clear.
