ACADEMY UNIFORM
Uniform at The Russett School is optional. Our academy uniform policy, is based on the notion that a uniform promotes a sense of pride in our academy, it looks smart, is practical and makes our pupils feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance. Wearing a uniform also encourages identity and creates a predictable daily routine which is vital for our pupils. It can also act as a reference point and allows them to distinguish between school days and home days.
Our academy uniform consists of:
- Sweatshirt or cardigan
- Polo shirt
- Dark trousers, shorts or skirt
- Sturdy, closed toe shoes
- Waterproof coat
Our uniform can be viewed and purchased online, from School Trends. Please follow the link to place an order: https://www.schooltrends.co.uk
UNIFORM FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION (PE)
We encourage pupils to bring a change of clothes for their weekly PE lessons. We use PE as an additional opportunity to practice independence and self-help skills through the process of getting changed before and after sessions.
PE kits should include:
- A plain t-shirt
- Pair of shorts or light jogging bottoms
- Black Plimsolls or trainers

- A warm, water-proof coat
- Waterproof trousers
- A pair of wellies
- Additional layers in winter as well as a hat and pair of gloves
- A sun hat during the summer months
