Chellaston Academy Uniform from September 2024
Over the past year we have been working hard to ensure that our uniform remains smart but as affordable and as widely available as possible. All current uniform and PE Kit can still be worn and we will be encouraging students to recycle wearable items that they have outgrown until they are no longer fit for purpose. We have made slight adjustments to our existing uniform to make it more sustainable and we are introducing a new branded V neck jumper which features our unique school emblem.
All compulsory items, except the blazer badge, V neck, branded jumper, tie and short sleeved PE top are widely available from supermarkets and retail outlets. We recommend that uniform items are purchased in good time for the start of the new academic year as stock in many outlets quickly becomes unavailable.
Before purchasing any items of uniform from retail outlets other than our uniform supplier, please use our checklist to ensure you buy items which meet our uniform criteria. We will not accept items that do not meet the uniform criteria even if they are sold as ‘schoolwear’.
Our uniform supplier, Uniformality, Borrowash & Schools in Uniform have items available to order and will continue to have supplies throughout the year. More information about uniform suppliers is at the bottom of this page.
