Uniform
City of Peterborough Academy Uniform Policy
The City of Peterborough Academy has strict guidelines on dress and all students will be expected to wear the full Academy uniform. The wearing of our distinctive uniform gives students a sense of 'belonging', helps foster a pride in the Academy and stops students coming to the Academy in unsuitable clothes. The list below shows approved items of dress and those items which are not acceptable.
Please note that the Academy will make the final decision as to what is or is not acceptable in all aspects of a pupil’s appearance.
