Uniform
A smart appearance reflects the right attitude to learning within and beyond Essa Academy
Academy Uniform:
Our uniform creates Essa Academy's identity and establishes a sense of pride amongst the students. As an inclusive and ‘rights respecting’ school we have made every attempt to ensure our uniform is gender neutral. It is expected that all students will come to Essa Academy every day in full, neat, clean uniform, giving the message that our students take pride in belonging to Essa Academy. This will continue to be the case until the student leaves the Academy and will also apply to the public examination period for all students. Staff are required to ensure these standards are maintained at all times. We believe that uniform sends a strong message about standards and self-worth. Admission to our Academy implies acceptance of the uniform code.
All students are expected to have the correct uniform, which can be purchased from the following retailers:
