Uniform

At Southwater Junior Academy, we expect all children to wear school uniform as it is one way in which they can have a sense of identity and belonging.

The Academy has a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable and in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of uniform. You can find our Uniform Policy on our policy page.

We ask that all items are clearly named.

All uniform can be purchased directly with Taylor Made Uniforms Ltd using the below link:
