Uniform

 

At Radford Academy, we believe that a smart, practical uniform helps pupils feel a sense of belonging, promotes equality and supports a positive learning environment. We are committed to keeping uniform costs affordable while maintaining high standards.

Everyday Uniform

  • Navy blue sweatshirt, jumper or cardigan (school-branded or plain)
  • White or sky-blue polo shirt
  • Grey trousers, shorts, skirt or pinafore
  • Black smart shoes (no coloured logos or designs)

Year 5 and Year 6 pupils also wear a grey blazer and school tie.

PE Kit

  • Plain white T-shirt
  • Black or navy shorts, joggers or leggings
  • Plain black or navy sweatshirt/hoodie for colder weather
  • Trainers or plimsolls

For swimming lessons, pupils should wear a one-piece swimming costume or swimming trunks (no loose shorts).

Jewellery, Hair and Appearance

  • One pair of small stud earrings only
  • No hoop or drop earrings
  • No other jewellery
  • No make-up or nail varnish
  • Hairstyles should be suitable for school, with no extreme cuts or colours

Reasonable adjustments can be made for religious, cultural or medical needs.

Purchasing Uniform

Branded items are available from the school office. Most uniform items can be purchased from any supermarket or clothing retailer. Second-hand uniform is available from school, and regular uniform sales and swap events are organised throughout the year.

Equality and Inclusion

We are committed to ensuring our uniform policy is inclusive and complies with the Equality Act 2010. Reasonable adjustments will be considered to meet individual pupils’ needs, including those related to disability, religion or other protected characteristics
