Uniform
We always follow DfE guidance in relation to uniform, the latest of which can be found here.
High Expectations is a core value of our academy and the Redhill Academy Trust and this always includes standards of uniform. We have worked closely with suppliers to ensure that our uniform is high quality and represents value for money.
We have a number of ‘branded’ items that are embroidered with the school logo, these being blazer, one of trousers / skirt and a PE top. These items provide absolute clarity in relation to what is required and saves issues with misunderstanding and money being spent on items deemed not acceptable. We also have a tie that all students must wear, this is not included as a branded item, in line with DfE guidance.
Other items are available and are entirely optional, these include things such as school jumpers. There is no expectation that these are purchased or worn, these are also often available through the ‘pre-loved’ offer, where items are available for resale within our school community and we promote this in our communication to families. We very much value donations to this offer and know that many families and friends swap or donate items between themselves. In addition, we provide all compulsory branded items and tie free of charge to families in receipt of free school meals when they start at the school, and we support families who contact us when in genuine need of assistance. We care about our standards and we care about supporting families in helping their children meet them.
In hot weather, we make reasonable adjustments to our unform and will notify students and parents in advance wherever possible. This may include permitting students to not wear a tie and / or blazer. In extreme conditions we may consider further adjustments to uniform, such as the wearing some items of PE kit. These adjustments are made at the discretion of the Headteacher.

- Plain black trousers
- School skirts
- PE Kit items
Please drop donations at the school's reception desk.
Suppliers, Costs & Ordering
We are always seeking to obtain the best value for our families with regards to uniform, and have recently moved our suppliers.
The school does have a small stock of blazers that can be purchased directly through the school, and also a supply of ties available for purchase.
Tupton Hall branded blazers and PE kit items must be bought currently through our suppliers. This is to ensure that our families get value for money and also to ensure that standards of school dress are consistently high. We are also in the process of adding additional suppliers for uniform to ensure that our families have a choice of branded blazers and PE kit.
Garments such as white shirts, trousers and skirts are also available from our suppliers, and these comply with our school dress code. Before ordering uniform please read the updated guide to ensure you know the school dress code.
