2 Our Academy Uniform: Allows every student to develop an understanding of the word smart. Allows every student to recognise that they are part of St John Fisher Catholic Voluntary Academy. Allows every student to develop a sense of pride in themselves, their school and their community. Provides a value for money uniform. At St John Fisher Catholic Voluntary Academy we believe that our school uniform: instils pride; supports positive behaviour and discipline; encourages support for our school ethos; ensures that all students feel welcome; nurtures cohesion; and promotes good relations between different groups of students. Dress for Success Our uniform is our way of signalling to our students that the way they dress is important and will help determine their success in every interview that they have in the future. It is our intention that our simple, smart, affordable uniform will be worn correctly by every student in the school. A final thought when we walk into a room, we each have seven seconds to make an impression! We want the impression given by every child from St John Fisher Catholic Voluntary Academy to be one of success, determination and pride. We believe that our uniform will help them to achieve this. How Academy uniform is worn Uniform should be worn in a clean, smart, business-like manner. It sends a clear message to others about a student s attitude to school. Shirts/blouses collar button should be fastened at all times and shirt/blouse should be of a length and style which allows it to be tucked into trousers or skirt. Tie should be a clip on design Blazer should be in good condition with sleeves full length not rolled up or pushed back Jumpers can be worn under blazers, but should never replace them We ask parents and carers to give their full support in maintaining high standards of uniform.
