Uniform

Alvaston Moor Academy’s Uniform

At Alvaston Moor Academy, we pride ourselves on maintaining high standards of uniform and ask for the cooperation of parents and carers in helping us uphold these expectations.

We expect our students to be ambassadors for the Academy and to wear their uniform with pride and purpose. A smart appearance helps to foster a sense of belonging and reflects our shared commitment to excellence.

Students are expected to wear their full Academy uniform correctly on their journey to and from the Academy, as well as throughout the school day.
