Learning Habit 5: Uniform

Uniform shows pride in our appearance and pride in being a member of the Dixons Unity community. If a child requires a uniform adjustment due to medical reasons, then evidence must be provided. If students breach any part of our uniform code, they will either be given temporary uniform to wear or will be sat in Reset until their uniform is perfect. If a student borrows uniform, it must be returned at the end of the school day. If an item is not returned a reminder will be sent to the family. If following the reminder, the item is still not returned then the cost of the item will be charged to the ParentPay account.

Perfect uniform at Dixons Unity means:

• Black trousers (not jeans or tracksuit bottoms).
• White buttoned shirt.
• Grey blazer and / or jumper (KS3) / blue blazer and / or jumper (KS4).
• Black polishable shoes (not trainers or pumps).

Coats must be removed before entering the academy. Coats are not allowed to be worn inside the building. They will be confiscated and placed in the Year Team’s office until the end of the day if they are worn.
