Uniform

A high standard of personal appearance is expected of all students. Anyone arriving at the Academy in non-uniform clothing may expect to have their parents contacted and/ or be sent home to get changed.

The school has partnered with SWI to provide quality uniform at value for money prices.

 

 

 

The Current Uniform Order form is available to download in the Related Documents folder below.

The last weekly delivery to Lydiard Park Academy before the summer break will be Friday 12th July, starting again on 9th September. Orders for delivery between those dates will need to be sent to home addresses.

We recommend that all orders are placed on or before Friday 2nd August ready for the start of term. Although this is not a cut-off date, we advise early ordering to ensure students have their items in plenty of time before the start of term.

No other jewellery is permitted.
