Uniform

St Michael's Academy encourages the wearing of a school uniform to help foster a community spirit and a sense of belonging for our children. We believe that it also reduces the burden of having to decide what to wear and what not to wear. We also believe that a uniform promotes positive behaviour. We are very proud of the fact that the vast majority of our pupils wear the uniform, creating a very smart, purposeful look for school life.
