Uniform

 

As a school, high expectations are extremely important to us. ACET firmly believe that a smart dress code reinforces high standards of behaviour and respect. We do ask that all pupils attend school wearing full school uniform on a daily basis. 

Tidy uniform, tidy mind, leading to strong learning and great achievements!

A copy of the full Uniform policy can be downloaded from the policies section on the school website. Springwood Junior Academy uniform consists of the following items;
