School Uniform

At Callerton Academy, we pride ourselves on students being smart and ready to learn. Uniform allows all students to feel part of our community and it is important that we all follow simple uniform rules and have high expectations.

We expect students to come to school looking tidy and presentable. 

Jewellery is restricted to a watch, a single flat ring worn on the finger and one pair of small plain stud earrings worn in separate ear lobes. 

We reserve the right to confiscate, or insist that students remove, any item which contravenes these guidelines or which we deem to be a potential safety hazard. 

Excessive makeup, false nails and nail varnish are not allowed.

Hair accessories should be plain black, navy or white and not excessive. Hairstyles must not be extreme, avant-garde or an unnatural colour. We reserve the right to determine what is a reasonable style or colour of hair and to insist that students with inappropriate hairstyles have them restyled or coloured, wear a suitable covering or remain in isolation in school until we consider their hair to be acceptable. 

If pupils wish to wear religious headwear, this should be plain black, navy or white.

Personal stereos must not be worn, nor should mobile phones be switched on or visible inside the building.

Hats, scarves, T-shirts, jeans, sportswear, boots or trainers of any colour must not be worn in school.

All children must wear the school coat and/or fleece to and from school. These are the only coat that is allowed to be worn for school. Wearing a school coat on the journey to school is compulsory for all students following the October half term holiday and up to the February half term holiday. However, we welcome the school coat or fleece to be worn all year round. Nonuniform items such as non-uniform fleeces or hoodies cannot be worn under school coats or over school sweatshirts. 

If a child arrives at school not wearing the correct school uniform, they will face sanctions.

Where to purchase uniform

Following a procurement process (in compliance with the Education (Guidance about Cost of School Uniforms) Act 2021), all academies within the Gosforth Group will move to a single uniform supplier, Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd (our current supplier).

Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd will stock and sell all branded uniform items including PE/sportswear and the school rain jacket and outdoor fleece. Non-branded school approved style uniform items can also be purchased from Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd. However, parents/carers still have the option to buy these non-branded items from other retailers as long as they meet our uniform policy criteria.

Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd are based in Kingston Park, near to Tesco Extra, and offer an in-store measuring service (by appointment only), or if the size required is known, orders may be place by telephone or via their website. They recommend that orders are placed before 31st July 2023 to guarantee delivery before the start of the new term.

Please find below Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd address and contact details, our uniform digital brochure which includes examples of all uniform items, our school uniform requirements and information.
